ABSTRACT

Laparoscopic gastric sleeve (LGS) resection in super-obese patients (BMI > 50 kg/m2) is a challenging procedure. We have developed a unique approach and technique for LGS with no buttress stapling and without oversewing. After 102 operations there have been no leaks and late complications.
