In his lecture, Dr Pašić presented the most important segments in the development of surgical treatment of pathological obesity in our hospital.
He also presented a multidisciplinary team for obesity management working on the diagnosis of pathological obesity, evaluation of accompanying comorbidities, surgery and post-operative monitoring. Dr Pašić closed his lecture speaking about the idea of a personalized care in bariatric surgery both in Clinical Center Tuzla and in the wider medical community.
