Abstract

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is becoming popular as a standalone bariatric procedure. The technique has evolved over years towards standardization. Better standardization has minimized complications like leaks, stricture and weight regain. Adequate posterior dissection up to the hiatus and the linear sleeve without a torque can be safely performed. The video presentation refers to the international consensus document on LSG as well as the expert panel consensus summit published in SOARD (Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases) where our centre�s (Laparo Obeso Centre, Pune) data is shared. The video demonstrates step by step approach to a safe, standardized technique of LSG.
