Abstract:

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the results of patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy due to morbid obesity in our study and who used fibrin adhesive or suture anchored in the stapler line. Material and Methods:In our bariatric surgery clinic, between May 2014 and July 2016, of 86 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy due to morbid obesity and were treated with sutures and adhesions in the stapler line were retrospectively studied. Demographic findings, duration of operation, types of complications, rates and duration of hospital stay were evaluated. Patients in our study group were considered to be randomized because of similarity in terms of age, sex, body mass index and number. Statistically significant results were accepted as p <0.05. Results:The average age of the participants in the study was 37.12 ± 5.51 (mean age range 23-57), average BMI 46.3 ± 4.7 kg / m2 (range 41-59). The average duration of operation was calculated as 87.9 ± 16.1 minutes. The average duration of the operation was 72.5 ± 12.7 minutes (range 25-102 minutes). Mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.23 ± 1.22 days (range 3-8 days). Complications were observed in 4 patients after surgery, and no major complication or mortality was seen in any patient. All of the operations were terminated laparoscopically Conclusion:Supporting the stapler line with barbed suture in the bariatric surgeon's obesity surgeon increases the reliability of the operation and reduces the complication rate.
