History and Trend of the Gastric Sleeve
Initially, the Gastric Sleeve was the restrictive part of the Biliopancreatic Diversion Duodenal Switch Operation . Then, the gastric sleeve became the first stage operation for very obese patients who underwent Duodenal Switch Operation to reduce the perioperative risks. Some patients lost enough weight after the Gastric Sleeve Surgery and did not undergo the planned second stage Duodenal Switch Operation. These findings prompted bariatric surgeons to consider the gastric sleeve surgery as a standalone bariatric procedure. The first laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve was performed in 2000.
Over the past decade, the number of Gastric Sleeve surgeries continue to increase nearly every year. Now, more than half of all bariatric surgeries performed in the World are Gastric Sleeve procedures.
