Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in morbidly obese patients. Technique and short term results.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) as a definitive procedure for morbidly obese patients. DESIGN This constitutes a prospective study carried out in a tertiary care private hospital and included 15 morbidly obese patients who underwent LSG. The operation was performed through two 12 mm and two 5 mm ports, using the Endo-GIA stapler to create a lesser c...

Laparoscopic Gastric Plication Versus Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Background : Since 2006 laparoscopic gastric plication technique has been evaluated to eliminate AGB and VSG associated complications, by restriction without gastric stapling resection and without an implant used. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of LSG and LGCP in short term weight loss. Material and Methods: The study included 12 patients who underwent LSG and 12 patients...
