Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a minimally invasive weight loss surgery. During the procedure, a surgeon removes a large portion of the stomach, creating a sleeve-shaped stomach that is significantly smaller. This limits the amount of food a person can eat and helps control appetite. LSG is effective in promoting weight loss and is often recommended for individuals with obesity. It has advantages such as reduced recovery time and minimal scarring compared to open surgery. LSG can also lead to significant improvements in obesity-related health conditions, making it a valuable tool in the management of obesity.
