A230 Laparoscopic Antegrade Sleeve Gastrectomy in the setting of a Ventral Hernia with Loss of Domain

In this video presentation, we present a laparoscopic antegrade sleeve gastrectomy in a 67 year-old male with morbid obesity (BMI 45) and a complex ventral hernia with substantial loss of domain. This patient presented to our clinic with a large ventral hernia that extended down to his knees. Immediate abdominal wall reconstruction was thought to be at high risk of failure given his morbid obesity. The patient had failed multiple weight loss programs, and thus we considered surgical weight loss options for him.
