Severe obesity (SO), defined as BMI≥95th percentile, has increased worldwide among adolescents. American studies estimated that 1.3-2.8% of 12-19-year-old individuals have a BMI >40 kg/m2 or a BMI >35 kg/m2 with at least one serious co-morbidity. The immediate and long-term risks associated with SO in adolescents include cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, obstructive sleep apnoea and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. However, the results of sleeve gastrectomy in adolescents are still uncertain.
