Summary
This expert consensus establishes guidelines for Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG), covering preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. Key findings include SG
Area of Science:
- Bariatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- International experts convened to standardize Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) management.
- Focus on preoperative workup, intraoperative decisions, and postoperative complication handling.
Purpose of the Study:
- Achieve unified expert agreement on LSG protocols.
- Define LSG indications and management strategies for specific patient groups.
Main Methods:
- Expert survey and consensus voting during the Sleeve Consensus Summit.
- Analysis of previous consensus conferences to refine methodology.
Main Results:
- Consensus reached on 35 of 50 statements (>70%).
- Endorsed LSG for adolescents, elderly, severe liver disease, transplant candidates, and complex abdominal reconstruction.
- Recommended routine hiatus dissection avoidance but direct repair of small hiatal hernias.
- Prioritized endoscopic pigtail drainage for acute leaks.
- Defined indications for Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and Single Anastomosis Duodeno-ileal bypass with distalization (SADI).
Conclusions:
- LSG is a safe and validated bariatric procedure.
- Standardized preoperative and intraoperative protocols exist.
- Future focus on reducing reflux and improving revisional surgery post-LSG.
