Objective  To investigate the clinical application value of unsymmetrical four-port laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods  The clinical data of 114 patients with obesity who were admitted to Mianyang Central Hospital from June 2021 to May 2022 were retrospective analyzed. All the 114 patients underwent unsymme-trical four-port LSG, and were observed their surgical and postoperative conditions, complications and follow-up the patient’s esthetic satisfaction of wounds at 3 months after surgery. Results  All 114 patients underwent unsymmetrical four-port LSG successfully, without conversion to open surgery. The operative time was 68–160 min, average (104.2±26.1) minutes; volume of intraoperative blood loss was 2–50 mL, average (10.7±7.6) mL; the duration of postoperative hospital stay was 3–6 d, average (4.0±0.7) days. Of the 114 patients, 8 patients (7.0%) had fat liquefaction of wounds, 68 patients (59.6%) had postoperative nausea and vomiting in the 24 hours after operation, and all patients had no serious complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, intraperitoneal hemorrhage, or gastric leakage. One hundred and fourteen patients were followed-up for 3–14 months, with a median follow-up of 6 months. Forty patients (35.1%) had hair loss, 3 patients (2.6%) had mild anemia. Of the 114 patients, 2 (1.8%) were dissatisfied with the cosmetic effects of wounds, 64 (56.1%) were satisfied, and 48 (42.1%) were very satisfied. The satisfaction rate was 98.2% (112/114). Conclusion  The unsymmetrical four-port LSG is safe and feasible, it does not affect esthetic satisfaction of wounds.
