Abstract

Background: laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is Increasing in Recognition rapidly & is becoming preferred method for many obese individuals as well as their doctors throughout the world. Reinforcing the staple line has been suggested as a way to lessen the likelihood of bleeding besides leakage at the gastric staple line. Reinforcement, oversewing & buttressing inside the stapler load are all possible choices for reinforcing the staple line.

Objectives: Throughout LSG, the staple line can either be left unreinforced or reinforced with sutures.

Patients and methods: fifty individuals from the surgical departments at AL-AZHAR university hospitals participated in this prospective randomized controlled two-arm blind interventional trial.

Results: An examination of multivariable linear regression with regard to prediction of surgical time revealed significant variances between our examined groups with respect to Time of operation, Frequency of bleeding, and Frequency of leakage, Body mass index (BMI) as well as Reinforced staple line. When comparing the demographic along with weight data from our two groups, we found a statistically significant disparity.

Conclusion: There is a high statistically significant decrease in the BMI of both groups from pre-operative values during 6 months of follow-up after having LSG for the treatment of obesity
