Abstract:
Sleeve gastrectomy is the most frequently performed operation for the treatment of morbid obesity. Even though sleeve gastrectomy is now widely standardized, it may still benefit from the use of certain devices and procedures such as intraoperative endoscopy. The use of an endoscope offers numerous advantages that can considerably reduce the morbidity and mortality of patients who undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This paper describes our experience with a case in which the information obtained by endoscopy allowed us to perform a real-time assessment of the location of two large gastric polyps to control the staple-line.
