Single-Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy Versus Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. A 2-Year Comparative Analysis of 600 Patients
Obesity Surgery, 2015Co-Authors: Muffazal Lakdawala, Aditi Agarwal, Shilpa Dhar, Neha Dhulla, Carlyne Remedios, Aparna Govil BhaskerAbstract:Background This is a 2-year study to evaluate the feasibility; outcomes in terms of postoperative pain, weight loss, and complication rates; and cosmesis of the single-incision Sleeve Gastrectomy versus the conventional multiport Sleeve Gastrectomy. Methods A prospective comparative analysis was done in 300 patients in each arm who underwent laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and single-incision Sleeve Gastrectomy from September 2009 till January 2012. Both groups were matched for age and BMI. Postoperative pain scoring was done using visual analogue scale. Outcomes in terms of pain score, scar satisfaction score, excess weight loss, resolution of co-morbidities, and complications were compared in both groups at the end of 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Results Female patients preferred to undergo single-incision Sleeve Gastrectomy. Operating time and intraoperative blood loss were comparable in both groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS) scoring revealed lesser postoperative pain in the single-incision group. Excess weight loss and resolution of co-morbidities were also comparable in both groups at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Incisional hernia was seen in 3 patients (1 %) in the single-incision group. Leak rate was comparable. Cosmetic satisfaction was superior in patients who underwent single-incision surgery. Conclusions Surgical outcomes are comparable in both groups at the end of 2 years. The myth of high long-term incisional hernia rate after single-incision surgery has been dispelled. Single-incision surgery is less painful with better cosmesis. It has come of age and should no longer be considered as an experimental procedure.

Single-Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy Versus Conventional Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy—a Randomised Pilot Study
Obesity Surgery, 2011Co-Authors: Muffazal Lakdawala, Nor Hisham Muda, Sunita Goel, Aparna Govil BhaskerAbstract:Background This is a prospective pilot study done to evaluate the feasibility and to assess the outcomes and complication rates of the single-incision Sleeve Gastrectomy versus the conventional five-port laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. Methods A prospective comparative analysis was done of 50 patients in each arm who underwent laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and single-incision Sleeve Gastrectomy from September 2009 until April 2010. Both groups were matched for age, gender and BMI and were then randomly assigned to either group. Postoperative pain scoring was done using the visual analogue scale. Postoperative outcomes in terms of pain scores, excess weight loss, resolution of comorbidities and complication rates were compared in both groups, at the end of 6 months. Results Operating times in both groups were comparable with experience. Intraoperative blood loss was similar in both groups. VAS scoring revealed lesser postoperative pain after the first 8 h in the single-incision group as compared to the laparoscopy group— P

Robotic versus laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a MBSAQIP analysis
Surgical endoscopy, 2018Co-Authors: Reza Fazl Alizadeh, Marcelo W Hinojosa, Brian R Smith, Colette S. Inaba, Andreea I Dinicu, Michael J. Stamos, Ninh T NguyenAbstract:Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy has become the procedure of choice for the treatment of morbid obesity. Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy is an alternative surgical option, but its utilization has been low. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contemporary outcomes of robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy (RSG) versus laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) using a national database from accredited bariatric centers. Using the 2015 Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database, clinical data for patients who underwent RSG or LSG were examined. Emergent and revisional cases were excluded. A multivariate logistic regression model was utilized to compare the outcomes between RSG and LSG. A total of 75,079 patients underwent Sleeve Gastrectomy with 70,298 (93.6%) LSG and 4781 (6.4%) RSG. Preoperative sleep apnea and hypoalbumenia were significantly higher in the RSG group (P

single laparoscopic incision transabdominal surgery Sleeve Gastrectomy
Obesity Surgery, 2008Co-Authors: Kevin M Reavis, Marcelo W Hinojosa, Brian R Smith, Ninh T NguyenAbstract:Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy has recently been added to the list of appropriate weight loss operations presently performed by bariatric surgeons. The Sleeve Gastrectomy is routinely performed using five and up to seven laparoscopic trocars with enlargement of one of the trocar sites for extraction of the gastric specimen. We describe a case of laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy performed through a single laparoscopic incision.
