The Perfect Sleeve Gastrectomy

Abstract

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has gained popularity in the last years as the worldwide most accomplished bariatric procedure due to the striking results of sustained weight loss, improvement or remission of the main obesity comorbidities, and long-term improvement of the quality of life. The lower technical demand necessary for doing the procedure based in single upper abdominal approach and lack for gastrointestinal anastomosis usually requires shorter operative time, which can be very advantageous in patients with compromised health status. In addition, the absence of intestinal diversion keeping intact the intestinal absorption capacity may also be favorable to the sleeve in some situations. These advantages have already been widely demonstrated in general population with morbid obese, but the role of the LSG in patients with special conditions such as cirrhosis, inflammatory bowel disease, severe bowel adhesions, and in the setting of organ transplantation remains largely unreported.
