Abstract
The authors present the case of a 28-year-old female scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery with a BMI of 49. During the preoperative evaluation, dextrocardia was evident, and a diagnosis of situs inversus totalis was made. The surgery was performed without complications in a high-volume hospital specializing in bariatric surgery. Gastric sleeve surgery should be considered an effective and safe procedure in such patients as long as the surgeon is prepared, makes technical adjustments with their team, and has the necessary experience. Laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery is a safe procedure in patients with situs inversus, as long as it is performed by an experienced surgeon.
