GlossaryLaparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (laparoscopic sleeve surgery)

minimally invasive surgery removing most of the stomach for weight loss

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG), also known as sleeve gastrectomy or gastric sleeve surgery, is a minimally invasive weight-loss procedure where approximately 75-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-like "sleeve." This significantly reduces the stomach's capacity, leading to reduced food intake and promoting weight loss. The procedure is performed using small incisions and a laparoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a camera, allowing for a quicker recovery compared to open surgery.
