   Sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss procedure, typically performed laparoscopically, in which approximately 75 - 85% of the stomach is removed, [1] [2] along the greater curvature, [3] which leaves a cylindrical, or "sleeve"-shaped stomach the size of a banana.

[69] This allows for the natural ability of the stomach to absorb nutrients to remain intact. [69] This procedure is reversible, is a less invasive procedure, and does not use hardware or staples. [70]

   Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is an advanced, minimally invasive (keyhole) procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient's umbilicus . Special articulating instruments and access ports eliminate the need to place trochars externally for triangulation, thus allowing ...

   The SPL technique has been used to perform many types of surgery, including adjustable gastric banding [52] and sleeve gastrectomy. [ 53 ] In 2003, the American Institute of Gastric Banding (AIGB) True Results opened the first outpatient surgery center using advanced laparoscopic technology to be recognized by the American College of Surgeons ...
