Newly diagnosed Crohn's disease, and hepatocellular and renal cell carcinoma in a bariatric surgery patient-dealing with the complexity of obesity-associated diseases: a case report and review of the literature.

However, with the appropriate awareness and strategies, bariatric surgery can be safely executed and even contribute to the treatment of severe comorbidities that exceed the metabolic spectrum.
