Third Annual
International Consensus Summitfor Sleeve Gastrectomy
ICSSG-3
December 2-4, 2010
Following the success of the previous two ICSSG events where more than 325 participants exchanged recent progress made in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. We introduced the 3rd Annual International Consensus Summit for Sleeve Gastrectomy.
This year the conference will be held in NYC on December 2-4, 2010, and promises to be another event not to be missed.
For high-risk obese patients seeking weight loss surgery, such as gastric band, gastric bypass, or duodenal switch, it may be safer and more effective to conduct a laparoscopic sleeve (LSG) as the primary procedure, or as the first stage of a two-stage procedure. LSG was initially introduced for the super obese patient in order to reduce the perioperative risk, but results have shown that the LSG procedure is as effective as gastric bypass in EWL% over a three-year period.
This meeting is a three-part summit that incorporates live surgery observation, a full-day course of didactic sessions and case reviews, and finally a consensus panel to determine the effectiveness of LSG as a primary operation.
