Abstract
Background:

Sleeve gastrectomy has gained popularity all over the world. Continuous
attempts were approached toward achieving less abdominal trauma, more aesthetic
outcome and reduction in postoperative pain. Bikini Line Sleeve Gastrectomy is a novel
technique that offers satisfactory aesthetic outcome without derailing from the main
objective of sleeve gastrectomy as a weight reduction procedure.
Objective:
to evaluate the feasibility, reliability and safety of bikini line sleeve gastrectomy
in getting satisfactory aesthetic outcome and efficient weight reduction.
Methods:

prospective cohort study that included 85 patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, between October 2018 and October 2019 at Ain Shams University Hospitals with 24 months follow up. Patients were divided into two groups, Group I (N=40) underwent Laparoscopic Bikini line sleeve gastrectomy (BLSG) and Group II (N=45) underwent conventional laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).Assessment of Patient’s scar satisfaction and percentage of excess weight loss (% of EWL). Moreover, we analysed postoperative complications whether early or late.

Findings: In terms of percentage of weight loss, no statistical difference recognized between the two groups at each point time interval from six, 12, 18 and 24 months. Moreover, regarding the scar appearance, Patients of bikini line sleeve gastrectomy significantly more satisfied than other patient underwent standard sleeve gastrectomy.

Conclusion:
When performed properly in selected patients, Bikini line sleeve gastrectomy using three ports harbours high safety profile with excellent patient satisfaction outcomes despite prolonged operative time. Further large multi-centric randomized trials are warranted to obtain robust evidence.
