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.

How is the sleep gastrectomy performed? This procedure normally takes around 40 to 60 minutes. It's performed under general anesthetic. Patients will get admitted on the day of the operation. Once they're asleep, the surgeon will make four or five keyhole incisions and introduce gas into the abdomen to create a working space. Then the surgeon will introduce a laparoscope or a camera and working instruments. The surgeon will then proceed to reshape the stomach into a tube shape and remove about 60 or 70 percent of the stomach from the body. And that is the end of the operation. you
