Correction to: Operative and Postoperative Complications of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Super and Nonsuper Obese Patients: A Center of Excellence Experience Comparative Study by Vilallonga et al. J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A 2020;30(5):501–507;DOI: 10.1089/lap.2019.0721

In the May 2020 issue of the Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques (vol. 30, no. 5; 501–507), the article titled Operative and Postoperative Complications of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Super and Nonsuper Obese Patients: A Center of Excellence Experience Comparative Study by Vilallonga et al., requires a correction due to a transcription error that transposed column heads for BMI n values in Tables 1 and 3.

In the article, Table 1, page 503, top left column, the BMI n values in the two column heads, (n = 328) and (n = 198) were erroneously transposed with the BMI n values in the two column heads in Table 3, page 503 top right column (n = 495) and (n = 218). Additionally, the two column heads in Table 3, page 503 top right column, the BMI n values in the two column heads (n = 495) and (n = 218) were erroneously transposed with the BMI n values in the two column heads in Table 1, page 503, top left column (n = 328) and (n = 198).

Table 1, page 503, top left column, the BMI n values in the two column heads should be (n = 495) and (n = 218).

Table 3, top right column page 503, the BMI n values in the two column heads should be (n = 328) and (n = 198).

In addition, the authors added a sentence to the end of the Methods section:

For long-term follow-up analysist, only patients with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were included.
