Sleeve gastrectomy is a weight-loss surgery that involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach that limits food intake and reduces hunger. Indications for this surgery include severe obesity with a BMI over 40, or a BMI over 35 with obesity-related conditions like diabetes or hypertension. The procedure offers significant benefits, including the potential to lose up to 60% of excess body weight and improvement or resolution of obesity-related health issues. Performed as an outpatient procedure using the da Vinci XI Surgical System, this minimally invasive approach enhances precision and recovery, often allowing patients to return home the same day.
