Conclusion:
We consider that LSG performed with CO2 pneumoperitoneum
at low pressure is a safe, effective and feasible method that can
facilitate the application of intraoperative central venous
catheterization due to less changes in the IJV diameter and volume
compared to the standard technique.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is widely performed all over the world.
Our study emphasizes that LSG with low intra-abdominal pressure may be
beneficial especially in patients who require central catheterization
during the operation.
