“…11 While the NL program complies with some of the criteria (i.e., including a dedicated bariatric team and long-term patient follow-up) for a BSCOE, operative volumes are less than the minimum annual 125 bariatric procedures required to be classified as a COE. 12 The purpose of this study was to assess 30-day complication rates and mortality in the first 209 consecutive patients undergoing LSG.…”

“…Although there are many similarities between the proposed criteria and established adult center-of-excellence criteria, 5 several requirements of the pediatric and adolescent bariatric surgery specialty program would differ from those that need to be met by adult centers to better address the needs of this group of patients.…”

“…3 The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and the American College of Surgeons have created comprehensive outcomes databases and developed criteria for center-ofexcellence designation for adult bariatric surgery centers. 5 Bariatric surgical case volume has been a primary driver of quality outcomes in this model, although recent evidence suggests that other factors may play an important role. 6 …”

The prevalence of morbid obesity in adolescents is rising at an alarming rate. Comorbidities known to predispose to cardiovascular disease are increasingly being diagnosed in these children. Bariatric surgery has become an acceptable treatment alternative for morbidly obese adults, and criteria have been developed to establish center-of-excellence designation for adult bariatric surgery programs. Evidence suggests that bariatric surgical procedures are being performed with increasing numbers in adolescents. We have examined and compiled the current expert recommendations for guidelines and criteria that are needed to deliver safe and effective bariatric surgical care to adolescents.

Bariatric surger y is associated with a mortality rate of 0.1-2.0 in large studies [60][61][62][63][64] . In a recent metaanalysis by Buchwald et al [65] , postoperative mortality was 0.5% for RYGBP, 0.1% for gastric banding, and 1.1% for malabsorpitive procedures.…”

The incidence of obesity is steadily rising, and it has been estimated that 40% of the US population will be obese by the year 2025 if the current trend continues. In recent years there has been renewed interest in the surgical treatment of morbid obesity in concomitance with the epidemic of obesity. Bariatric surgery proved effective in providing weight loss of large magnitude, correction of comorbidities and excellent short-term and long-term outcomes, decreasing overall mortality and providing a marked survival advantage. The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) has increased in popularity and is currently very "trendy" among laparoscopic surgeons involved in bariatric surgery. As LSG proved to be effective in achieving considerable weight loss in the shortterm, it has been proposed by some as a sole bariatric procedure. This editorial focuses on the particular advantages of LSG in the treatment of morbid obesity.
