Abstract

The standard approach to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) involves sleeve-forming through a vertical gastrectomy, producing a narrow, tubular stomach. Considerable laparoscopic skills are required to find a suitable size at which the pressure of the sleeve is not excessive and the restriction is sufficient for obtaining good weight-loss effect without increasing the risk of complications. There is no doubt that considerable technical details are required to create a “perfect sleeve.” We report our sleeve-forming technique for LSG involving both vertical gastrectomy and plication, which we have termed “laparoscopic plicated sleeve gastrectomy.” This technique was shown to be safe and efficacious for the treatment of severe obesity and can reduce technical difficulties in the creation of a “perfect sleeve.”
