Is body mass index ≥50 kg/m2 a predictor of higher morbidity for patients who have undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy?

Background: Super-morbid obese (SMO) patients (body mass index [BMI] >50 kg/m2) carry a higher risk for bariatric surgery.

Zusammenfassung:Background: Super-morbid obese (SMO) patients (body mass index [BMI] >50 kg/m2) carry a higher risk for bariatric surgery. Despite several studies addressing this patient group, the number of patients included tends to be relatively small. Methods: We reviewed 708 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy between 2009 and 2015 and compared the outcome of SMO (BMI ≥50 kg/m2) patients with MO (BMI
