Core Tip
Core Tip: The goal of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is to limit the amount of food taken by reducing the stomach volume. When the surgical applications are examined, it is seen that although the surgical technique is similar in general terms, when the details of the technique are considered and the pre- and post-surgical applications are evaluated, there are very different applications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical applications of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgeons.
