Endoscopic Negative Pressure Therapy (ENPT) Is Superior to Stent Therapy for Staple Line Leak After Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Single-Center Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Staple line leak (SLL) is a serious complication after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Common endoscopic treatment options include self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS), endoscopic internal drainage (EID), and endoscopic closure. The endoscopic negative pressure therapy (ENPT) is a promising treatment option combining temporary sealing of the defect with drainage of the inflammatory bed. In this study, we compare the outcome of ENPT and SEMS for the treatment of SLL following SG.

Materials and methods

A retrospective cohort of 27 patients (21 females) treated at a single center for SLL after SG was included. ENPT was primary therapy for 14 patients and compared with 13 patients treated primarily using SEMS.

Results

ENPT was associated with a significant reduction of hospital stay (19 ± 15.1 vs. 56.69 ± 47.21 days, p = 0.027), reduced duration of endoscopic treatment (9.8 ± 8.6 vs. 44.92 ± 60.98 days, p = 0.009), and shorter transabdominal drain dwell time (15 (5-96) vs. 45 (12-162) days, p = 0.014) when compared to SEMS. Whereas endoscopic management was successful in 12/14 (85.7%) of patients from the ENPT group, SEMS was successful in only 5/13 (38.5%) of patients (p = 0.015). Furthermore, ENPT was associated with a significant reduction of endoscopic adverse events compared with SEMS (14.3% vs. 76.92% p = 0.001).

Conclusion

Compared with SEMS, ENPT is effective and safe in treating SLL after SG providing higher success rates, shorter treatment duration, and lower adverse events rates.

Staple-line leak post primary sleeve gastrectomy. A two patient case series and literature review.

Project description:There is an increasing trend in the number of bariatric surgeries performed worldwide, partly because bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) remains the most common bariatric surgery procedure performed, representing more than 50% of all primary bariatric interventions. Major surgical complications of SG include staple-line bleeding, leaking, and stenosis. A leak along the staple-line most commonly occurs at the gastroesophageal junction (GOJ). From January 2018 to December 2018, our centre performed 226 bariatric procedures, of which, 97.8% were primary bariatric procedures. The mean age and BMI were 38.7±8.3 years and 44 kg/m2, respectively. Out of the 202 primary SG performed, we encountered two cases of a staple-line leak (0.99%). This is the first reported case series of SG leaks from the Southeast Asia region. A summary of their characteristics, clinical presentation, subsequent management, and the outcome is discussed. Based on the latest available evidence from the literature, several methods may decrease staple-line leaks in SG. These include the use of a bougie size greater than 40 Fr, routine use of methylene blue test during surgery, beginning transection at 2-6 cm from the pylorus, mobilising the fundus before transection, and staying away from the GOJ at the last firing. Other methods include the proper alignment of the staple-line, control of staple-line bleeding, and performing staple-line reinforcement. The management of a staple-line leak remains challenging due to limited systematic, evidence-based literature being available. Therefore, a tailored approach is needed to manage this complication.

Staple line leak with peritonitis after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy - a solution in one to six steps.

Project description:Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most efficient bariatric interventions in morbidly obese patients. The most severe risk of this procedure seems to be the staple line leak, and the management of this complication can be very arduous.To share our experience in managing the staple line leak after LSG and to help to find the best procedure that should be preferred.In the 2010-2015 period we performed 223 LSG, with about 5 demonstrating severe complications - two patients with severe bleeding requiring revision surgery, and three patients with resection surface leak.We always primarily treated the staple line leak with a laparoscopic revision. Once the fistula did not spontaneously close after this treatment. A series of other methods were then indicated for this patient and only the sixth one resulted in the desirable therapeutic success. At first, our team opted for laparoscopic revision with drainage. The next procedure involved applying Ovesco and Boston clips. As a third method we performed abscess drainage through a nasobiliary tube inserted via gastroscopy. Due to failure we performed the second laparoscopic revision with staple line resuture, the next intervention was an open revision with fistula excision and suture, and finally we opted for the application of a self-expanding metallic stent, which proved to be definitely curative.Without any guidelines it is very difficult to determine the right procedure addressing the staple line leak after LSG. It depends mainly on the clinician's experience and is lengthy and often untraditional.

Endoscopic Septotomy as a Treatment for Chronic Leak after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Project description:Acute leakage after sleeve gastrectomy progresses into chronic leakage by 10–28.1%, which causes the surgeon to be disturbed. The main treatment for chronic leakage is surgery, but the authors report successful care with endoscopic septotomy. Forty-one year old female patient with a BMI of 42.8 (161.6 cm/111.8 kg) underwent a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The leakage of the proximal part of the staple resection line was verified in the abdominal CT on the fourth day after the procedure due to pain in the left shoulder that could not be clarified. After appropriate treatment including stent, the patient ended the acute leakage treatment 150 days after surgery. However, the patient was visited for 10 months after removed percutaneous catheter drainage due to fever and pain in the left shoulder. Afterwards, chronic leakage was confirmed from the CT and endoscopy at POD 15 months. We performed endoscopic treatment in the operating room under general anesthesia. At the gastroesophageal junction, we could find chronic leak orifice and bridging fold between stomach lumen and abscess pocket. Endoscopic septotomy was performed with the endoscopic knife and electrosurgical surgical unit, until the stomach lumen and abscess pockets were fully in communication. After the patient was discharged without any complications and is currently under close observation. Endoscopic septotomy as a treatment for chronic leak is feasible and safe. Herein, we report this case with video clip.

Impact of the calibration bougie diametre during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on the rate of postoperative staple-line leak (BOUST): study protocol for a multicentre randomized prospective trial

Project description:Background Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become an increasing bariatric procedure. The basic principle is to create a narrow stomach along the lesser curvature, using a calibration bougie as a template to perform a vertical partial gastrectomy, resecting the greater curvature and fundus of the stomach. The most common postoperative complication is gastric leak from the staple line, observed in approximately 3% of cases, which can result in long and incapacitating treatment. The diametre of the bougie used to calibrate the remnant stomach could impact the rate of postoperative gastric leak, a higher diametre being correlated with a lower risk of leak, without lowering long-term weight loss. This is the first randomized trial to compare the outcomes of LSG regarding the use of two different bougie diametres on postoperative gastric leak and mid-term weight loss. Methods Bougie Sleeve Trial (BOUST) is a superiority single-blinded randomized national trial, involving 17 centres. Participants will be randomized into two groups. LSG will be performed using a 48-Fr diametre calibration bougie in the experimental group and a standard care (34 to 38-Fr diametre) calibration bougie in the control group. Both groups will take part in a 2-year postoperative follow-up to assess postoperative gastric leak rate and weight loss and quality of life evolution. Discussion This study protocol will allow the investigators to determine if the use of a larger calibration bougie during LSG is associated with lower postoperative gastric leak occurrence without impairing mid-term weight loss and quality of life. The results of this trial will provide important data on patient safety and promote best practice for LSG procedures. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.govNCT02937649.

Surgical Outcomes, Health Care Utilization, and Costs Associated with Staple Line Buttressing Among Primary Sleeve Gastrectomy Patients.

Project description:Purpose: Staple line buttressing is a method of reinforcing surgical staple lines using buttress materials. This study evaluated surgical outcomes, hospital utilization, and hospital costs associated with staple line buttressing among patients who underwent primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (PLSG) in the United States.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using Premier Healthcare Database data from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2017. Patients aged ??18 years who underwent PLSG were selected and assigned to buttress or non-buttress cohorts based on the use of buttress material during their hospitalization for PLSG (index). Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to balance patient demographic and clinical characteristics between the cohorts. Generalized estimating equation models were used to compare the clinical and economic outcomes of the matched buttress and non-buttress users during the index hospitalization.Results: A total of 38,231 buttress and 27,349 non-buttress patients were included in the study. After PSM, 24,049 patients were retained in each cohort. Compared with non-buttress cohort, the buttress cohort patients had a similar rate of in-hospital leaks (0.28% vs 0.39%; p?=?0.160) and a lower rate of bleeding (1.37% vs 1.80%, p?=?0.015), transfusion (0.56% vs 0.77%, p?=?0.050), and composite bleeding/transfusion (1.57% vs 2.04%, p?=?0.019). Total costs ($12,201 vs $10,986, p?<?0.001) and supply costs ($5366 vs $4320, p?<?0.001) were higher in the buttress cohort compared with the non-buttress cohort.Conclusions: Staple line buttressing was associated with an improvement in complication rates for bleeding and transfusion. Total and supply costs were higher in the buttress cohort, necessitating further research into cost-effective buttressing materials.

Endoscopic management of refractory leak and gastro-cutaneous fistula after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a randomized controlled trial.

Project description:BackgroundGastro-cutaneous fistula is a rare complication after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) with incidence of occurrence 1-2%. Most of gastro-cutaneous fistulae do not respond to conservative management and need intervention either surgically or endoscopically.MethodsThis prospective randomized clinical study included referred patients who had LSG performed at our department or other centers, and complicated with post-LSG leak or gastro-cutaneous fistula between December/2019 and March/2021. Included patients were ASA Physical status I-II. Primary and secondary outcomes were recurrence of the fistula and mortality in each group after the intervention during the 18 months follow-up period, respectively.ResultsThirty patients were randomized into two groups: Surgery Group (SG, n = 15) and Endoscopy Group (EG, n = 15). Mean age of patients was 42.3 ± 8.7 and 42.6 ± 8.3 years-old in SG and EG, respectively. Females constituted 73.3% and 80% in SG and EG, respectively. Median time-to-gastric leak post LSG was six (range: 4-7) days in both groups. SG patients were surgically managed with primary repair of the gastric fistula and gastrojejunostomy in 13 patients or converting SG into Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in two patients, while EG patients were endoscopically managed with stitching, stenting, stenting and dilation, and clipping and dilation in 5, 4, 4 and 2 patients, respectively. Incidence of recurrent leak during 1st week was significantly higher in SG than EG (p < 0.001). No mortality reported in EG, while 2 patients died in SG (p = 0.48).ConclusionEndoscopic intervention may offer a successful modality in managing post-LSG gastric leak and gastro-cutaneous fistula that do not respond to conservative measures in stable patients.
