Summary

Obesity is a chronic disease and its treatment requires close follow-up to accurately assess the efficacy and durability of any treatment strategy. It is widely accepted that bariatric surgery patients require lifetime follow-up to assess for weight loss, co-morbidity changes, and nutritional deficiencies.

The study objective was to ascertain efficacy of weight loss and complication rates in 562 consecutive cases of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in a single surgeon practice.

PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

Special care was given to the complete mobilization of the gastric fundus, with meticulous dissection of the posterior gastric wall from the left pillar. A 36-Fr calibration bougie was used. Resection started 2 to 6 cm from pylorus, and it was conducted upward to 1.5 cm from the angle of His, to avoid the "critical area." A gastric remnant of 60-80 mL volume (measured by administering methylene blue saline solution via nasogastric tube) was obtained.
