摘　　要：In this editorial,we reviewed the article by Li et al.We aimed to explore various perspectives to further mitigate the risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV),which could significantly reduce its incidence and related post-operative complications.PONV is highly prevalent among patients undergoing bariatric surgery,yet there are relatively few related studies.Currently,the main-stream bariatric surgery methods include laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.Despite the effectiveness of surgery in helping patients lose weight,postoperative PONV may occur,potentially leading to various complications(such as aspiration and wound dehiscence).A retro-spective study by Li et al has compared the impact of different operative positions during laparoscopic sleeve gastroplasty on the incidence of PONV,providing new insights into the clinical practice aimed at reducing PONV incidence and thereby improving patient’s postoperative experience.
