How is a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy performed?

General anesthesia is used during LSG surgery, which is performed in a hospital. Your abdomen will receive five or six tiny incisions from your surgeon. He or she will do the procedure utilizing a long, narrow telescope with a tiny camera at the end. About 80% of your stomach will be removed using tools that are shoved into the incisions. See, Mr. Ahmed Ahmed, explaining the procedure of sleeve gastrectomy.
