Abstract

Obesity is a world wide health problem and Bariatric surgery has demonstrated to be the most effective and sustainable method for the regulation of morbid obesity, superior to both pharmaceuticals and combinations of diet and lifestyle regimens. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is Purely restrictive procedure that does not involve alterations in the small bowel anatomy and are therefore rarely associated with metabolic complications. DVT is a very serious post LSG complication that may affect the patient morbidity and mortality. In laparoscopic bariatric surgery, reverse Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum are associated with venous stasis of lower extremity and impaired venous return due to the compression of iliac veins and inferior vena cava may increase the risk of DVT
