Spanish term or phrase: Gastrectomía vertical laparoscópia
Hi all.
I¡ve translated a couple of medical research articles for an agency, in which I translated "gastrectomía vertical laparoscópica" as Laparoscopic Vertical Gastrectomy. The agency disagrees saying it should say "laparoscopic Sleeve Gastretomy (LSG).

General search show use of both ... as well as "laparoscopic vertical sleeve Gastrectomy".

The key then is to determine are these all valid names for the same surgery? Or do they represent different but relatively similar surgeries.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Explanation:
Dear Shenice, you are right Both terms are used ;)
See below

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
In a sleeve gastrectomy, also known as a vertical sleeve gastrectomy or gastric sleeve procedure,
the outer margin of the stomach is removed to restrict food intake, leaving a sleeve of stomach, roughly the size and shape of a banana, and the pylorus, the muscle that controls emptying of food from the stomach into the intestine. A sleeve gastrectomy is a purely restrictive procedure.

The sleeve gastrectomy, by reducing the size of the stomach, allows the patient to feel full after eating less and taking in fewer calories. The surgery removes that portion of the stomach that produces a hormone that can makes a patient feel hungry.

Sleeve gastrectomy is a simpler operation than the gastric bypass procedure because it does not involve rerouting of or reconnection of the intestines. The sleeve gastrectomy, unlike the Lap-band, does not require the use of a banding device to be implanted around a portion of the stomach.
