Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in a 2-year-old child with morbid obesity: A case report with a 2-year follow-up.

Morbid obesity in infancy or early childhood is a challenging disease to manage. Here, we present the case report of the successful management of a 2-year-old girl child with morbidly obesity who was bedridden and had sleep apnoea and underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Bariatric surgery in this age group comes with a lot of decision-making challenges and technical and ethical considerations, and literature is scant on paediatric bariatric surgery. We describe the case and associated challenges in detail in this report.
