Schematic representation of what is done in a sleeve gastrectomy. (Lina wolf/WC)

Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical procedure to treat obesity. It is a common ditzel in gastrointestinal pathology at centres that have obesity surgery.

General

Indication: morbid obesity.
The prevalence of Helicobacter gastritis is 33-44%.^[1]^[2]
GISTs are seen in 0.6% of cases (based on a series of 827 patients^[3]).

	- Stomach wall within normal limits.

Focal chronic gastritis

Partial Stomach, Sleeve Gastrectomy:
	- Stomach wall with focal mild chronic inactive inflammation of the mucosa.
	- NEGATIVE for Helicobacter-like organisms.
	- NEGATIVE for intestinal metaplasia.
