Abstract
At 12 months, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) achieved a 29.28% total body weight loss compared to 17.57% for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG).
- Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) resulted in a 13.30% total body weight loss, significantly less than LSG and ESG.
- ESG was associated with a significantly lower rate of complications compared to both LSG and LAGB.
- The average hospital stay for ESG patients was 0.34 days, much shorter than 3.09 days for LSG and 1.66 days for LAGB.
- Readmission rates were similar across all three procedures, indicating no significant differences.
