Assessing the Safety and Aesthetic Benefits of Reduced Port Bikini-Line Sleeve Gastrectomy (RBSG): An Initial Report
RBSG is a safe and effective alternative to CLSG, offering equivalent weight loss and safety profiles while significantly improving postoperative body image perception. The technique maintains technical feasibility without compromising operative time or increasing complications. Larger, multicenter studies with extended follow-up are warranted to validate these findings and assess the long-term sustainability of the observed benefits.
