Abstract
Background: The indications for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are changing over time. In its origins, it began as a first step procedure in 2-step complex operations, such as gastric bypass, in high-risk population. But because of the observed good weight loss, LSG was proposed as an independent operation. In this chapter, we analyze the main indications, limitations, and advantages of the technical aspects of LSG.
Conclusion: LSG is a safe and effective bariatric operation by itself. In the proper patients (especially those who are at higher risk), sleeve gastrectomy may be the procedure of choice due to its simplicity, shorter operative time, and potential decrease in perioperative morbidity and mortality rates.
