Ragad I Al Jazzar et al. J Surg Case Rep. .

Abstract

Standards of care in regards to super-super obese patients are yet to be evolving due to the sparsity of this weight category along with the high morbidity and mortality rates attributed to it. We report a successful case of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for a 35 years old lady with a body mass index (BMI) of 98 kg/m2.

Keywords: laparoscopy; sleeve gastrectomy; super super obesity.
