Abstract
Although NSD was frequent 1 year after BSSO, most patients were satisfied with the treatment. However, a risk for severe NSD or neuropathic pain does exist in a small group of patients. These patients should be identified at an early stage so that proper medical and supportive treatment can be initiated. If necessary, a multidisciplinary pain center should be consulted. The importance of accurate patient information preoperatively cannot be overstated.
