Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as day-case surgery: a case-matched study

Day-case surgery (DCS) is a hot topic in gastrointestinal surgery. DCS was primarily validated for inguinal hernia repair, cholecystectomy [1] and the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease [2, 3]. New indications for DCS in the field of gastrointestinal surgery have been recently described, such as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) [4], ileostomy closure [5], colectomy [6] and liver resection [7].
