Narrative:
At approximately 4;000 ft during climb; heard and felt a loud bang from the right side of the aircraft and aircraft began to yaw to the right. Engine 2 egt surged briefly and then rolled back to idle power for approximately 5 seconds. ECAM engine stall message chimed. Engine self recovered back to climb power. No further surges noted during return to airport. We advised ATC that we had suffered a significant compressor stall and requested a level off and heading. Reviewed QRH and ECAM supplemental handbook; contacted maintenance and operations; briefed the flight attendants and passengers. Requested a return to our departure airport. Reviewed QRH overweight landing checklist; touched down at approximately 145;000 pounds at 20 FPM with a normal full flap landing to the runway. Maintenance removed aircraft from service.
