Abstract:
The review article "Operative Techniques and Outcomes in Metabolic Surgery: Sleeve Gastrectomy" by Hüttl et al. is concerned with laparoscopic sleeve stomach operations ("sleeve gastrectomy") for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity (Zentralblatt für Chirurgie 2009; 134: 24-31). After an analysis of the available literature and own results, the authors concluded that the laparoscopic sleeve operation is established today as an effective standard procedure in the therapy for obesity.We would like to comment on the content of this article.
