Impact of Anesthetic Conditions on Stapling Quality Measured as Staple Thickness During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Impact of Anesthetic Conditions on Stapling Quality Measured as Staple Thickness During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Measure anesthetic condition used during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy stapling. Measure quality of stapling in resected stomach by measuring staple thickness. Find if any relation exists.
During each staple firing the staple size, time of compression and anesthetic conditions being systolic arterial pressure, fluids transfused and intra abdominal pressure used are recorded.
After removal of stapled stomach during surgery, thickness of stomach wall and thickness of staple line are measured and compared to evaluate quality of staple formation.
the closer the staple height to the wall thickness the better the quality of stapling. Because no one has ever analyzed this relationship, and certainly not under different anesthetic conditions it is not clear yet if any relationship will be found.
the analysis will help to understand the relation and help to start perhaps a randomised trial to learn what conditions are best to improve staple quality.
