Since January 1, 2005, the situation of bariatric surgery has been examined in Germany. The data are registered in cooperation with the An-Institute of Quality Assurance in the Surgery Department at the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg. Materials and Methods: The data registration occurs prospectively in an internet online data bank. All clinics performing bariatric procedures in Germany were asked to submit their data All primary bariatric procedures that have been performed since January 1, 2005 as well as re-operations in patients that have been operated before this time were analyzed. Results: During the first year of the study 629 patients were operated in 21 hospitals. The most frequently performed operation in the first year was gastric banding with 44.1% followed by Roux-en-Y-Gastric Bypass with 43.8%. 74.4% of the patients were female. The mediumBMI of all patients was 48.5 kg/m2. Conclusion: During the first year of the study, there is a trend from restrictive bariatric procedures to the malabsorptive approach. In Germany the BMI of the patients undergoing bariatric surgery is higher than in the most countries worldwide. Form and frequency of intra- and postoperative complications were not different from those described in the literature.
