- Abstract
Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become the most performed bariatric and metabolic surgery technique in Chile and the world. Although there are a large number of publications on it, there are still topics that are controversial and in which it is necessary to reach agreements among experts. The objective of this paper is to present the results of the first Chilean SG consensus using the Delphi method. Materials and Methods: A national survey was conducted that gathered 60,204 SG with some relevant topics about SG. Based on the survey results, a consensus committee made a set of controversial assertions defined from a GM national survey. These assertions were presented to a group of recognized experts from different centers throughout Chile. The Likert scale was used to establish consensus of agreement or disagreement with a cut-off point of 67%. Results: Two virtual meetings were held where the 36 experts voted on 30 statements. In total, the consensus committee agreed on 24 of the 30 proposed assertions. There was consensus of disagreement in one of them and no consensus was reached in five. Conclusion: In the first Chilean SG consensus with Delphi method, it was possible to bring together experts from all over the country to settle controversial issues and serve as a reference for the daily practice of bariatric and metabolic surgery in the present and the future
