[10 years of sleeve gastrectomy in the Czech Republic in terms of the surgical procedure].

Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as a single bariatric/metabolic procedure has been performed since 2003 in the world, and since 2006 in the Czech Republic. We report 10 years experience with SG in the Czech Republic from 2006 to 2015.
