Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy Carlos Galvani, Angela Echeverria, Ulises Garza, Amit Kaul Introduction: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy it is a technically simple procedure with low morbidity. Single incision surgery has been described as a novel technique to further decrease incisional morbidity and enhance cosmetic benefits. However, the adoption of this new approach is not widespread. Here in, we describe our technique for single incision sleeve gastrectomy. Methods: Patient is 52-year-old female with 20-year history of morbid obesity with a BMI of 42. She failed several attempts of medically supervised weight loss. The patient underwent Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy with Hiatal Hernia repair (anterior cruroplasty) through a 2.5 cm umbilical incision. Results: The operative time was 90 min, with an estimated blood loss of 10 cc. The patient was discharged 48 hours after surgery, without perioperative complications. Three months follow-up is unremarkable. Conclu
