Popis: Given there are approximately 100,000 primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) procedures performed a year in North America, there is a need to evaluate recent trends in LSG. The objective of this study was to analyze the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) to identify trends in technical factors and patient outcomes over time.The MBSAQIP prospectively collects data from 854 centers in the USA and Canada. Patients undergoing primary LSG were included. Statistical analysis was performed to characterize trends in patient factors, technical factors, and 30-day postoperative outcomes.A total of 434,030 patients underwent primary LSG. The mean age was 44.2 (SD 12.0) years and mean body mass index was 45.1 (SD 7.8) kg/mFrom 2015 to 2018, there was a decrease in staple line reinforcement and oversewing. These changes correlated with reductions in operative time, length of stay, readmission, and major complications.
