During the live surgery new technologies were used in front of the entire AIS World Community.

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) has become the most commonly performed bariatric operation in recent years. LSG has increased in popularity as a primary procedure due to its simplicity, relative safety, and effectiveness to achieve sustained weight loss over time compared to gastric bypass.

We have recently witnessed a surge in new technologies whose purpose is to increase the safety and efficiency of surgical interventions. The aim of these advanced tools is to facilitate the surgeon's work by decreasing the number of perioperative complications. However, new tools must be validated to gain universal acceptance.

The field of bariatric surgery is constantly evolving. In LSG procedures, several new devices have appeared and may play a crucial role in the near future. Some of these new tools will be introduced during the live surgery, such as new retractors, ICG for vascularization of gastric remnant and newstapling devices combining Tri-Staple technology with real time feedback.
