Sleeve gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy is a bariatric surgical procedure that removes approximately 75–80% of the stomach, creating a tubular gastric sleeve to restrict food intake and reduce hunger by lowering ghrelin production. It is widely used to treat morbid obesity and related metabolic disorders. A key complication is the risk of staple line leaks, requiring prompt management.
