Sleeve Gastrectomy Bariatric Surgery, Laparoscopic
A minimally invasive surgical procedure using a laparoscope to treat obesity. The procedure involves the removal of most of the stomach, leaving a thin vertical sleeve or tube in place of the normally-sized stomach. This restricts a patient's ability to eat the same volume of food as prior to the procedure and promotes weight loss.
