An international panel reached a consensus on sleeve gastrectomy, endorsing its use for diverse patient populations, including adolescents and the elderly. Key recommendations included avoiding routine dissection of the hiatus and prioritizing endoscopic pigtail drainage for managing acute leaks. Additional surgical options were outlined for patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and inadequate weight loss. Overall, the review highlights the procedure’s evolution as both safe and validated in clinical practice.
