Gender-related metabolic outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in 6-month follow-up.

Females seem to benefit more from the procedure when analyzing the parameters of body mass reduction. However, further research is needed to provide strong evidence of an association between gender and the results of LSG. PMID: 32117498 [PubMed]
