Does Sleeve Shape Make a Difference in Outcomes?

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is one of the most common procedures performed for weight loss. Many seek the “perfect sleeve” with the notion that the type of calibrating device affects sleeve shape, and this in turn will affect outcomes and complications. Two major concerns after SG are amount of weight loss and acid reflux. Our aim was to determine if the various calibration methods could impact sleeve shape and thereby allow for better outcomes of weight loss and reflux.
