Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical weight-loss procedure. By surgical removal, a large portion of the stomach is reduced to about 15% of its original size along the greater curvature.
Increasing incidence of obesity and rise in demand for laparoscopic surgeries is estimated to drive the growth of the market
Increasing incidence of obesity is estimated to drive the sleeve gastrectomy devices market
In 2020, 39% of adults in the world were overweight. Globally, one in five children and adolescents are overweight. The surgical weight-loss procedure, sleeve gastrectomy is also called a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. This procedure is performed laparoscopically, through multiple small incisions it involves inserting small instruments in the upper abdomen. During sleeve gastrectomy, around 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape.
Limitation of the size of the stomach restricts the amount of food one can consume, the procedure, in addition, prompts hormonal changes that assist with weight loss. These hormonal changes also help relieve conditions associated with being overweight, such as high blood pressure or heart disease.
Sleeve gastrectomy is done to help lose excess weight and reduce the risk of potentially life-threatening weight-related health problems. This gastrectomy is done to help lose excess weight and reduce your risk of potentially life-threatening weight-related health problems. Sleeve gastrectomy is typically done only after one has tried to lose weight by improving diet and exercise habits.
It is possible to lose approximately 60% or even more of excess weight within two years. Sleeve gastrectomy in addition to weight loss, may improve or resolve conditions related to being overweight, including heart disease and high blood pressure.
Rise in demand for laparoscopic surgeries is estimated to drive the market
The sleeve gastrectomy is a laparoscopic procedure. The procedure involves in the abdomen making five or six small incisions and performing it using a video camera (laparoscope) and long instruments placed through these small incisions. About 75% of the stomach is removed during the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, leaving a narrow gastric“sleeve” or “tube”.
During the sleeve gastrectomy no intestines are removed or bypassed. The LSG takes one to two hours to complete. It is primarily used as part of a staged approach to surgical weight loss. Patients with a very high (BMI) or a longer procedure or at risk for undergoing anesthesia due to lung or heart problems may benefit from this approach.
Sometimes before surgery the decision to proceed with a two-stage approach is made due to the known risk factors. In other patients during the operation the decision to perform sleeve gastrectomy (instead of gastric bypass) is made. Intraoperatively, reasons for making this decision include an extensive scar tissue or excessively large liver that makes the gastric bypass procedure too long or unsafe.
