Morbid obesity in children is associated with various metabolic complications, often persisting into adulthood and leading to reduced quality and duration of life. Conservative treatment of morbid obesity, often ineffective, and therefore, bariatric surgery in adolescents is becoming more common throughout the world. This review presents an analysis of international clinical guidelines for patient selection for bariatric surgery, assessed the efficiency and safety of different types of bariatric operations and identified the main problems of the widespread use of metabolic surgery as a method of treatment of morbid obesity in adolescents.
