Staple line leakage is a worrisome complication of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), ranging from 0 to 7%. Despite some reports describe oversewing of the staple line as the solution to prevent such a problem other authors have demonstrated the incidence of leaks being the same in oversewed and not oversewed patients.

Abstract
Staple line leakage is a worrisome complication of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), ranging from 0 to 7%. Despite some reports describe oversewing of the staple line as the solution to prevent such a problem other authors have demonstrated the incidence of leaks being the same in oversewed and not oversewed patients. This abstract appears to confirm this trend.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
