How much is sleeve gastrectomy?

Sleeve-shaped gastrectomy is mainly for obese patients to do gastric volume reduction surgery, in principle requires longitudinal resection of most of the stomach on the greater curvature side, resection area of 75%-80%. The main reservation is the lesser curvature of the stomach, antrum, pylorus, and proximal duodenum of the gastric digestive tract. The remaining volume is about 100-200ml, forming a sleeve-shaped small stomach, the requirements are to be able to pass through the catheter and normal gastroscopy. This procedure does not alter the course of the gastrointestinal tract, so the risk is low and recovery is faster. However, if the patient does not control his appetite after surgery, he will still overeat easily.
