Abstract
Obesity is fast becoming a worldwide epidemic. Bariatric surgery has gained acceptance as an outstanding procedure that provides clinically significant weight loss and metabolic outcomes. Despite improvement in technique and expertise, complications ensue. As the number of postbariatric surgery patients increase, it is crucial that one is able to identify and manage complications. In order to optimally manage these patients, one must be able to understand the postsurgical anatomy and physiology of the stomach. Herein, we discuss the most common sites of leaks after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. We propose a new and unique algorithm for management of sleeve gastrectomy leaks taking into consideration other factors that we feel contribute to successful healing and resolution.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of each issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to provide a comprehensive, current overview of a clinical condition or surgical procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy, combining the effectiveness of an atlas with the timeliness of a journal. Each issue places a vigorous emphasis on diagnosis, rationale for and against a procedure, actual technique, management, and prevention of complications. The journal features abundant illustrations, line drawings and color artwork to guide readers through even the most complicated procedure.
