Due to overeating, the volume of the stomach increases dramatically, so that studies have shown that the stomach of a large human can hold 2-4 liters of food. During sleeve surgery, a tube is inserted through the mouth into the stomach to remove all the gases and fluids from the stomach and reduce the volume of the stomach. In most cases, there is no need to enlarge the incision, and the incised stomach will eventually come out of the same 3-cm incision that was inserted to insert the laparoscope. Small incisions dramatically reduce postoperative pain and hernia risk.
