Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a frequently performed operation. Leaks are formidable complications; however,
the optimal management of these leaks is controversial.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 15 patients referred to our tertiary center between 2012 and 2016 with
leaks after LSG.
Results: In 12 patients with whom ongoing leaks were identified, stents were inserted with the intent of definitive therapy. In addition
to attempts at source control, percutaneous drainage was carried out for intraabdominal collection in 9 patients and pleural effusion
in 4 patients. The length of stay in the intensive care unit was significantly shorter in patients referred earlier or in those without any
intervention.
Conclusion: LSG leaks can be treated nonoperatively in well-organized centers under meticulously designed protocols, depending on the
clinical condition of the patient.
