Modified USA Narrow 145mm — SILS Sleeve Gastrectomy

Modified USA Narrow 145mm — SILS Sleeve Gastrectomy

The 145mm Modified USA Narrow dressing forceps serves single-port laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy — the bariatric procedure adapted to single-incision technique in selected patients. The narrow profile is essential for the multiple-instrument cohabitation that single-port bariatric surgery requires.

The SILS-sleeve gastrectomy patient selection

SILS-sleeve gastrectomy is offered to selected bariatric patients with BMI 35-45 — outside this range the technical demands exceed the single-port platform capacity. The procedure typically uses a 3-4cm umbilical-or-supraumbilical incision with a single-port platform allowing 3-4 instruments through a single fascial defect. The 145mm Modified USA Narrow forceps’s narrow profile fits this constrained working space.

The bariatric-surgery cosmetic consideration

Bariatric-surgery patients are often particularly motivated by cosmetic outcome (post-operative weight loss reveals skin and tissue that would have been hidden by adipose tissue pre-procedure). Single-port bariatric technique addresses this concern; the conversion-tray instrumentation supports the cases where open completion is needed.
