Patients with obesity and paraplegia may significantly benefit from bariatric surgery. There is a need for multi-centre cohort studies to evaluate outcomes and the choice of bariatric intervention. UK guidelines do not include criteria based on mobility or neurological deficit, resulting in a potential missed opportunity to offer a cost-effective treatment that can significantly improve quality of life for patients with severe obesity and paraplegia.
