Comment on: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as day-case surgery: a review of the litterature

We read with great interest the systematic review by Rebibo et al, a thorough review of the literature as it relates to sleeve gastrectomy performed in the ambulatory surgery setting (1). Specifically, the authors performed a literature search on studies investigating management of perioperative risks and complications following ambulatory sleeve gastrectomy. It is important to clarify the term ambulatory surgery, which was defined both in the review and in the following editorial, as outpatient surgery after which a patient is discharged on the same day.
