Comment on: Histopathologic findings in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: is routine full pathologic evaluation indicated?
In an original investigation, Yang et  al. conducted a retrospective cohort study at a single large academic institution to evaluate the need for routine pathologic examination of the specimen of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) [1]. Nevertheless, further concerns should still be addressed in this well-investigated research. (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases)
