Multidisciplinary Management of Sleeve Gastrectomy

By: Ruiz-Tovar, Jaime

The book provides a global approach to sleeve gastrectomy, currently the most commonly performed bariatric technique worldwide. Although classified as a restrictive procedure, it has been shown to produce effects that go beyond the simple reduction of gastric volume, including hormonal and biochemical changes associated with the surgery. With its multidisciplinary approach, featuring experts from various medical and non-medical fields such as nursing, physiotherapy, and psychology, the book discusses preoperative evaluation, intraoperative procedures, postoperative care, mechanisms of action, and the challenges associated with sleeve gastrectomy, all grounded in current evidence-based literature. Special attention is given to ERAS protocols, which have been applied to sleeve gastrectomy and have been demonstrated to be effective and safe. These protocols reduce postoperative complications, enhance recovery, and improve both the perceived quality of life and the quality of healthcare delivered.

This volume will be a valuable resource for all specialists involved in the care of patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.
