BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is gaining wide acceptance as a single surgical treatment for @entity28 . The reported morbidity and mortality rates are low. We herein report the results of LSG performed in a high-volume center by an experienced team. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of all @entity1104 ( @entity1104 ) was performed between May 2006 and December 2014. Data inspected included operative time, length of hospital stay (LOS), comorbidity resolution, re-operation, percent excess @entity353 (%EWL), and 30-day morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: In the study period, 3003 @entity1 underwent @entity1104 (1901 (63  %) female). Mean age and body mass index (BMI) were 43  years (range 14-73) and 42.8  kg/m(2) (range 35-73), respectively. %EWL at 1  year was 72  % (n   =   937; 57  % follow-up rate). There was 1 perioperative mortality due to @entity548 (0.03  %). Comorbidity improvement and resolution were 98  % for @entity27 , 79  % for @entity6 , 87  % for @entity2299 , and 85  % for @entity101 . Mean operative time and LOS were 50  min (range 32-94) and 2.2  days (range 1-38), respectively. Of the @entity1 , 132 had complications (4.4  %), 25 leaks (0.83  %), 63 @entity548 (2.1  %), 1 @entity6177 (0.03  %), 3 sleeve strictures (0.1  %), 2 mesenteric vein thromboses (0.06  %), 10 trocar site hernias (0.3  %), and 78 symptomatic @entity2963 (2.6  %). Re-operation was needed in 13 @entity1 (0.43  %). CONCLUSION: In a high-volume center with an experienced team, LSG can be performed with low morbidity and mortality.
