Area of Science:

  • Bariatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Leaks following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) represent a significant post-operative complication.
  • A standardized management algorithm for LSG leaks is currently lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a management algorithm for leaks after LSG.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this algorithm.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective database of LSG leaks treated between 2010 and 2014 was reviewed.
  • Management decisions were based on leak timing, nutritional status, and presence of stenosis or peritonitis.
  • Treatment options included operative intervention or endoscopic stenting.

Main Results:

  • 14 LSG leaks were identified and managed.
  • The majority of patients (78.4%) required operative management, including jejunostomy feeding and laparoscopic Roux en Y esophagojejunostomy (LRYEJ).
  • The study reported no mortalities, a low reoperation rate (7%), and no recurrent leaks after a mean follow-up of 23.6 months.

Conclusions:

  • A management strategy for LSG leaks tailored to presentation timing, stricture presence, and malnutrition is safe.
  • This approach demonstrates effectiveness in treating post-LSG leaks.
