Popis: Severe obesity and metabolic syndrome are common long-term complications after liver transplantation (LT). Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is the essential treatment for severe obesity with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) being the most commonly performed procedure.This is a retrospective analysis of all LT patients who underwent MBS between January 2006 and December 2020 in a single tertiary center.During the study period, a total of 226 LTs were performed. Four patients (1.8%) underwent SG following LT. Time interval from LT to SG ranged 11-72 months. The median Body Mass Index (BMI) before LT and SG was 38.8(±6.5) and 41.8(±2.7) kg/mSG following LT is associated with low perioperative morbidity and satisfactory long-term results.
