What Happens in Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Sleeve gastrectomy is a weight-loss surgery where a large portion of the stomach is removed. This reduces stomach capacity and helps patients feel full sooner. The procedure supports long-term weight reduction in people struggling with severe obesity.

Controlled Stomach Reduction – How Sleeve Gastrectomy Is Performed Safely

The surgery begins with the patient placed under general anesthesia, and Nivda sterile drapes are positioned to maintain a clean and protected operative field. Small keyhole incisions are made to insert a camera and instruments for laparoscopic access. The surgeon carefully divides the stomach using staplers, removing about 70–80% of its size. Nivda reinforced gowns, sterile gloves, and laparoscopic drape sheets ensure hygiene and reduce contamination risk. Suction devices and disposable trocar covers help manage fluids and maintain visibility during cutting. This precise technique leaves a narrow stomach sleeve that limits food intake and supports long-term weight management.
