Sleeve gastrectomy is becoming increasingly popular within bariatric surgery. Initially introduced as a component of complex interventions and later as part of a two-stage operation in high-risk patients, the procedure is now more common as one-stage operation and subject of avid scientific discussion. However, the concept of longitudinal gastric resection is not new. The procedure was already established in ulcer surgery but soon faded into insignificance. This article aims to trace the historical development of resection of the greater curvature with particular reference to its origin in ulcer and bariatric surgery. The contribution of ulcer surgery to modern sleeve gastrectomy is highlighted. Furthermore, the current value of sleeve gastrectomy within the spectrum of bariatric surgical procedures will be discussed. Relevant medical literature from PubMed to April 2010 was reviewed.
