From here, doctors began to search for surgical solutions until they came to sleeve gastrectomy, which is the removal of a large part of the stomach until it reaches 25% of its original size. Doctors did not stop at this development, but continued to search for how to perform gastric sleeve surgery in a better cosmetic way, and this by reducing the number of surgical openings used to one surgical opening.

The method used to carry out the operation:
- The usual process of sleeve gastrectomy is done through five surgical openings in different areas in the abdominal area, thus leaving small traces, but they may be apparent, and you may need a plastic surgery.

- This, in turn, leads to preserving the aesthetic appearance of the abdomen after the operation.

What has resulted from the use of modern endoscopes in bariatric surgeries:
The use of modern endoscopes has led to a smaller area of the wound resulting from the operation, and according to this, the smaller the wound area, the less pain resulting from it. The use of these binoculars also avoided the need for plastic surgery. Hence, the doctors' focus increased on exploiting these endoscopes while reducing the number of surgical openings for the patient.
