Bariatric surgery is a treatment for morbid obesity. Different surgical procedures have been described in order to obtain excess weight loss (EWL), but currently laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the most commonly performed procedure throughout the world. Aim:Assessment of Excess body weight loss and Operative Time among conventional and Three ports sleeve gastrectomy Groups. Methods: A prospectively constructed database of patients who underwent 3PSG (group 1) and conventional LSG (group 2), each containing 50 patients after application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, was retrospectively analyzed. Results: Mean Operative Time was longer in group 1 than in group 2 (50±4.38 min vs. 46.04±3.64 min, p < 0.001). The mean EBWL% in 3PSG, one of the most important parameters for evaluating the efficacy of a bariatric procedure was similar to that of conventional LSG. Mean EBWL% after 6 months was 49.62±2.91 & 49.94±3.41 in group 1 and 2 respectively with p value of 0.614 Conclusion: Three-trocar sleeve gastrectomy can be safely carried out with a slight increase in operative time
