abstract: Sleeve-forming gastrectomy (SFG) is the operation to make a gastric sleeve (GS). The video presents the subtotal removal of the antrum and the use of sliding self-locking stitch and Aberdeen knots as suture reinforcement with omentoplasty of the GS staple line with the aim of decreasing bleeding and leaks.
