Observational Study[Observational study on outpatient sleeve gastrectomy.]
The development of outpatient surgery is one of the major goals of the public health policy in 2010. The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the feasibility of the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in ambulatory. ⋯ The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in ambulatory is feasible with a dedicated anesthesiological concept in an expert surgical team.
