The registry has been running on Dendrite's Intellect Web Software Platform for the last six years.
“I would like to congratulate the authors on their excellent paper summarising the key findings from the latest report,” said Dr Peter Walton, Dendrite Clinical Systems. “The Dendrite/IFSO Global Registry Project continues to garner great interest from bariatric and metabolic surgeons from all over the world and we will be publishing/launching the fifth report in Madrid in September 2019.”
