Core Tip	Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has become a recognized hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome and NASH cirrhosis is predicted to be the primary indication for liver transplant (LT) in the United States by 2025. Previous reviews have shown that weight reduction surgery is a feasible endeavor in the liver failure patient. However, our review of the available literature highlights the need for a prospective clinical trial that will focus on the efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy in relation to LT perioperative outcomes, patient and allograft survival and prevention of NASH recurrence in the post-transplant setting.
