Applying Metal Clips at the Tip of Gastrojejunostomy Stapling Site to Reduce Intraluminal Early Postoperative Bleeding

Abstract

Nowadays, surgical option is the most powerful and durable treatment modality for morbid obese patients in the world. Postoperative Gastrointestinal bleeding is one of complications which has been encountered in the early and late postoperative period after bariatric surgery. One of probable locations of gastrointestinal bleeding after gastric bypass is gastrojejunostomy anastomosis site. Use of metal clips in the tip of inner aspect of gastrojejunostomy anastomosis may reduce intraluminal bleeding in early postoperative period.
