Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) represents a pinnacle of modern bariatric surgery, merging advanced laparoscopic techniques with state-of-the-art three-dimensional imaging technology offered by MASSH. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to facilitate significant and sustainable weight loss in individuals grappling with obesity, particularly those with a body mass index (BMI) exceeding 35 or those with obesity-related comorbidities such as diabetes or hypertension. During the surgery, approximately 75-80% of the stomach is meticulously removed, leaving behind a slender, sleeve-shaped pouch that restricts food intake and diminishes hunger by reducing the production of ghrelin, the appetite-stimulating hormone. With the help of laparoscopy, surgeons have an unparalleled depth of field and precision, thereby enhancing outcomes and patient safety.

During Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy our surgeons make keyhole ports typically in the abdominal wall, through which specialized instruments and a high-definition camera are introduced. This camera, a technological marvel, projects a magnified, stereoscopic view of the abdominal cavity onto a monitor, granting the surgical team a vivid, depth-enhanced perspective that surpasses traditional 2D imaging. Guided by this superior visualization, the surgeon employs endoscopic stapling devices to excise a large portion of the stomach along its greater curvature, crafting a tubular sleeve that retains the natural pyloric valve for regulated digestion.
The resected stomach tissue is then extracted through one of the incisions, and the remaining sleeve is meticulously inspected for integrity before the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical staples. The entire procedure typically spans 35 to 45 minutes, with patients often discharged within 24 to 48 hours, reflecting its minimally invasive nature.
The fusion of imaging with laparoscopic VSG yields a triad of compelling advantages. First, enhanced surgical precision is achieved through the three-dimensional view, which provides exceptional depth perception and spatial orientation. This reduces the risk of complications such as leaks or bleeding by allowing surgeons to navigate complex anatomical structures with greater accuracy. Second, the procedure offers accelerated recovery and reduced morbidity. The small incisions and minimally invasive technique result in less postoperative pain, minimal scarring, and a swift return to daily activities often within two to four weeks compared to traditional open surgery.
Third, superior weight loss and metabolic outcomes distinguish this approach. Patients typically lose 50-70% of excess body weight within 12 to 18 months, while the hormonal modulation curbs appetite effectively, fostering long-term adherence to healthier lifestyles. Additionally, the improved visualization may shorten operative time, further optimizing patient safety and resource efficiency.
