:
: Simultaneous liver transplant and sleeve gastrectomy are feasible, safe, and do not add risks or adverse events to regular liver transplantation surgery. This combined procedure also effectively reduces body weight and controls obesity-associated comorbidities. More studies with larger cohorts are needed to evaluate long-term outcomes of combined surgery so that future programs providing simultaneous bariatric surgery to obese patients undergoing liver transplant can be developed.<b>Ethical Approval</b>For this type of study, formal consent is not required.
