How it works
Single-incision sleeve surgery is done laparoscopically. The camera and all the instruments pass through one small incision, called the port, at or just above the belly button. Inside, the surgery is the same as a standard sleeve.
Compare
With the standard laparoscopic sleeve, the surgeon makes four to six small incisions. A 2023 meta-analysis of 14 studies and about 3,100 patients found the two approaches had similar results, with better cosmetic satisfaction after single-incision surgery (Ataya et al.).
| Single-incision sleeve | Standard laparoscopic sleeve | |
|---|---|---|
| Incisions | 1, at the belly button | 4 to 6 small incisions |
| Scarring | Usually hidden in the navel | Several small scars |
| Operating time, complications and hospital stay | No significant difference | No significant difference |
| Excess weight loss | No significant difference | No significant difference |
| Cosmetic satisfaction | Better | Good |
| Price at Renew | Custom quote | $4,899 all-inclusive |

Am I a candidate?
Not everyone is a candidate for single-incision surgery. Each patient is evaluated case by case, and Dr. Pérez will tell you whether single-incision or a standard sleeve is the better choice for you.
Patients with a higher BMI may need the standard approach. You first need to qualify for a sleeve.
Previous abdominal surgeries make complications more likely, and a different approach may be recommended.
Single-incision surgery isn’t used to revise an earlier bariatric procedure. See sleeve revision.
You still need a proper diet and exercise plan to see the full results.

“The doctor I had was Dr Perez. He literally is the best, so polite, so sweet, and let us know exactly what he was going to do and what to expect. He himself has had the sleeve so he knew what works to get rid of gas, and everything he told us we did. I was pain free.”
“Dr Perez is very skilled and has great bedside manners. He found a large hernia during the gastric sleeve procedure and removed it at no extra cost. I so appreciate that.”
“Dr Perez and his staff at Renew Bariatrics are the GREATEST TEAM at what they do. I am so happy with my decision to have my surgery and care team here.”

It is a sleeve gastrectomy done through one small incision at or just above the belly button, instead of four to six small incisions. The stomach is reduced the same way as in a standard sleeve.
