Objectives:Craniopharyngiomas are rare low-grade tumors located in the hypothalamic and/or pituitary region. Hypothalamic involvement and treatment resulting in hypothalamic damage are known to lead to development of "hypothalamic obesity" (HyOb) in 50% of cases. The management of HyOb, associated with eating disorders and rapid comorbidities, is an important issue. Bariatric surgery is the most effective therapy for weight loss in patients with severe exogenous obesity. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the 12-month outcome of bariatric surgery for HyOb due to craniopharyngioma treatment.
