A463 Anatomy-based sleeve gastrectomy superior to sleeve gastrectomy with bougie in a retrospective cohort analysis

Sleeve gastrectomy pouch imperfections have been implicated in postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other complications. Anatomy-based sleeve gastrectomy (ABS) has been developed to improve the shape, volume and anatomic consistency of the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) pouch. In ABS, a pouch is created by applying a clamp 1-cm from the gastroesophageal junction, 3-cm from the incisura, 6-cm from the pylorus and stapling adjacent to the clamp.
