Abstract

Single incisional laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SILSG) has been proposed as an alternative approach to the conventional multiport laparoscopic procedure. However, there has been no reported SILSG case in Korea, even though single incisional laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer has increasingly reported in Korea and Japan. We recently performed 5 cases of SILSG for morbidly obese Korean patients, one of whom was 14-year-old adolescent female patient. Here, we describe our technical strategy for SILSG and present a brief review of literature about adolescent bariatric surgery.
