Staple-line Reinforcement During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Using Three Different Techniques: a Randomized Trial
Staple-line Reinforcement During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Using Three Different Techniques: a Randomized Trial
The main drawback of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the severity of post-operative complications. Staple line reinforcement (SLR) is strongly advocated.
The aim of this study was to prospectively and randomly compare three different techniques of SLR during LSG: oversewing (group A), buttressed transection with a polyglycolide acid and trimethylene carbonate (group B) and staple-line roofing with a gelatin fibrin matrix (group C).
