Which is the correlation between carcinoid tumor and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy? A case series and literature review

Conclusionthere are neither certain data which evidence a correlation between obesity and GCT, nor data to support the hypothesis of a higher incidence of GCT after bariatric surgery. Based on our experience in obese patients the finding of GCT in the pre-operatory phase is not an absolute contraindication for bariatric surgery.
