The gastrectomy, was performed by entering the vagina and making a small incision behind the uterus through which the abdomen and stomach could be accessed with surgical tools. The stomach was reduced in size using conventional surgical staplers. The excess stomach was then pulled down through the abdomen and out of the vagina.
The sleeve gastrectomy is a weight loss surgery in which 80 percent of the stomach is removed, leaving a slender moon-shaped stomach. The procedure works by dramatically reducing the size of the stomach so that the patient feels full after eating less, takes in fewer calories, and loses weight. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080924190042.htm
