Abstract

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is gaining widespread use and has displaced gastric banding in popularity. Short, medium, and long-term data regarding the weight loss associated with LSG and its durability are encouraging. Resolution of comorbidities and improvement in health-related quality of life are comparable or better than other bariatric procedures. In the long term, weight regain is a natural course in a proportion of patients who may undergo a second procedure. It is used as a first stage in a two-stage duodenal switch procedure for weight loss in the super-obese group. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a concern following LSG, but concomitant hiatal hernia repair may prevent this problem.
