Sleeve Gastrectomy

Visceral and digestive surgeon

Sleeve gastrectomy means sleeve gastrectomy.
It consists of removing part of the stomach to leave only one sleeve. This intervention, which we are starting to talk about more and more, was originally reserved for patients at risk in whom the bypass was fraught with complications and significant mortality. A sleeve gastrectomy was first performed, then after obtaining weight loss, the second step was offered either a gastric bypass or a duodenal switch. In fact, a majority of patients did not pass the second stage, because they obtained a good result with the sleeve gastrectomy alone, which means that this intervention could be autonomous.
