Sleeve Gastrectomy: Indications and Technique

Sleeve gastrectomy has rapidly gained recognition as an effective and safe treatment for obesity and related diseases. With minimal anatomical changes, sleeve gastrectomy leads to substantial weight loss through a combination of mechanical restriction and a shift in gut hormone regulation. Thanks to its safety and technical simplicity, it has also proven beneficial for high-risk patients with severe comorbidities. Adequate perioperative management, careful patient selection, expertise in surgical techniques, and knowledge of potential pitfalls play crucial roles in ensuring successful outcomes.
