Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Reduced port sleeve gastrectomy offers comparable safety and efficacy to conventional methods. While hospital stays and cosmetic outcomes may improve, overall clinical benefits require further investigation.

Area of Science:

Bariatric Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Outcomes

Background:

Obesity is a growing global health concern requiring effective management strategies.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a common bariatric procedure.
Reduced port surgery aims to minimize surgical invasiveness and improve cosmesis.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review and meta-analyze the safety and efficacy of reduced port laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (RPLSG).
To compare RPLSG with conventional laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (CLSG).

Main Methods:

Systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 eligible articles.
Included 13 cohort studies and 5 randomized trials with 2945 patients.
Assessed postoperative complications, operative parameters, weight loss, comorbidity improvement, hospital stay, and cosmetic results.

Main Results:

No significant differences in total postoperative complications (OR 0.99; 95% CI 0.72-1.37) or severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIb) between RPLSG and CLSG.
Similar outcomes for operative time, blood loss, postoperative pain, weight loss, and comorbidity improvement.
RPLSG showed a slightly shorter hospital stay (WMD -0.23; 95% CI -0.39 to -0.07) and better short-term cosmetic results.

Conclusions:

Reduced port sleeve gastrectomy is a safe procedure for selected patients.
Current evidence does not clearly demonstrate significant clinical advantages of RPLSG over CLSG.
Further research is needed to clarify the long-term clinical benefits of RPLSG.
