What is Gastric Sleeve surgery?
Gastric sleeve is the newest entrant into the field of bariatric surgeries. It is a simpler operation than gastric bypass or duodenal switch, and does not rely on implants, adjustments or fills. It requires removal of the left side of the stomach but does not involve any rearrangement of intestines. The remaining stomach is sealed with staples.
This procedure can successfully be used on its own but is also used as the first stage of bariatric surgery for super- obesity, where the body mass index is so high that more radical surgeries would be too risky. It can be followed by either duodenal switch or gastric bypass to achieve the weight loss advantages of restricting food absorption.
A recent alternative to Gastric Sleeve Surgery is Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery.
