Summary
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy has emerged over the last 20 years as a treatment of choice
in the surgical management of patients with morbid obesity. However, this restrictive
procedure is accompanied by outcomes such as gastric fistula (5%), postoperative hemorrhage
(1%) and intra-abdominal loco regional collections (1%). At present, there is no sufficiently
reliable technique to prevent these complications.
