Résumé :

The prevalence of obesity has grown steadily in recent years, making it almost an epidemic. Obesity is a chronic condition whose prognosis is burdened by severe comorbidities. Both the quality of life and the life expectancy are affected. The medical management of morbid obesity is still the rule, but surgical practices are developing rapidly. While bariatric surgery in adults is common and gives excellent results, in adolescents, its practice is less prevalent. Beyond issues specific to this developmental period, this question raises ethical issues. In this context, the pluridiscplinary team faces diverse determinants and challenges and the child and adolescent psychiatrist (CAP) is, the psychiatrist is summoned for psychopathological aspects but also for embarrassing questions. In this work, we are going to specify the role of the CAP in the practice of bariatric surgery.
