Abstract

The sleeve gastrectomy (SG) does not involve intestinal bypass and is simply a restrictive procedure. The evolution from an open duodenal switch procedure to the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy that is now routinely performed was initially reserved for high risk, super-morbidly obese patients as a staged procedure. It was then subsequently adapted as a single-staged operation in those with a lower BMI. However, the beneficial effects of SG go beyond that of simply reducing obesity, and has positive effects on diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension. In this chapter, we will cover the impact of the sleeve on obesity, comorbidity resolution, as well as surgical and non-surgical complications that may occur following the procedure, be it early or late.
