Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a type of procedure called bariatric surgery that provides large weight loss and has a positive impact on diseases associated with obesity. However, it has brought several complications that have an impact on those undergoing surgery, which are classified into intraoperative and postoperative issues. The study's goal is to assess the Saudi Arabian population's awareness of SG consequences. This study assessed the general population's knowledge in Saudi Arabia in 2023 using a cross-sectional approach. The total number of participants was 1,013, the majority of whom were individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 (471, 46%), and females (692, 68%). A total of 692 (68%) participants showed awareness of BMI; in addition, 987 (97%) were aware of gastric sleeve surgery, and 538 (53%) understood its indications correctly. Regarding SG complications, approximately 821 (81%) of participants showed awareness. There were significant associations between knowledge of gastric sleeve surgery and residence in the northern region of Saudi Arabia. In conclusion, our study indicated that the general population is aware of the complications of gastric sleeve surgery, but it found a deficiency in their knowledge about BMI.
袖状胃切除术（SG）是一种名为减肥手术的术式，能实现大幅减重，并对与肥胖相关的疾病产生积极影响。然而，它带来了一些影响手术患者的并发症，这些并发症分为术中问题和术后问题。该研究的目的是评估沙特阿拉伯人群对袖状胃切除术后果的认知情况。本研究在2023年采用横断面研究方法评估了沙特阿拉伯普通人群的知识水平。参与者总数为1013人，其中大多数是年龄在18至25岁之间的个体（471人，占46%），且女性居多（692人，占68%）。共有692名（68%）参与者了解体重指数（BMI）；此外，987名（97%）知晓袖状胃切除术，538名（53%）正确理解其适应症。关于袖状胃切除术的并发症，约821名（81%）参与者有所了解。沙特阿拉伯北部地区居民对袖状胃切除术的了解情况与知识水平之间存在显著关联。总之，我们的研究表明普通人群知晓袖状胃切除术的并发症，但发现他们对体重指数的知识存在欠缺。
