Measurement of Stomach Wall Thickness to Guide Staple Selection during Sleeve Gastrectomy
2020
Background
Sleeve gastrectomy has been considered a primary bariatric surgery; however, surgeons concerned with staple line leakage often query whether staples selected during stomach resection are of an appropriate size. This study aimed to measure gastric wall thickness using pathology laboratory measurements and to identify variables correlated with stomach wall thickness in patients who had undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
