Abstract

Introduction: sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has established itself as a primary bariatric technique with wide distribution and acceptance by patients and surgeons. This success is based in its apparent technical ease and low risk of complications. However, complications are important. The aim of this work is to communicate how we perform the SG in our group. Methods: our patients are optimized preoperatively. The patient is placed with legs spread in semi-sitting position at the table of conventional surgery. Usually, we use five trocars and performed a SG preserving the antrum, tutoring with a 34 Fr Fouchet, gastric section beginning at 6 cm from the pylorus, with 60 mm mechanical Flex endostapler (first green and gold charge for the remaining firings) protected with a Seamguard®. Blake drainage along gastric section is placed and we never place a nasogastric tube. Discussion: controversial aspects of the technique, especially the bougie size, use of energy devices, size of the antral resection management of the gastroesophageal junction, size of the staples and the staple line reinforcement are discussed. Conclusions: laparoscopic gastrectomy has become a primary bariatric technique offering good results with few complications. However, there may be serious complications such as leakage, bleeding and stenosis. To reduce these complications is essential to improve the implementation and standardization of the surgical technique.
