Non-surgical treatment of staple-line suture leakage after redo sleeve gastrectomy

Abstract

Redo bariatric procedures are common. However, redo sleeve gastrectomy is not a frequent case of repeated bariatric surgery and can be performed rather as a necessary measure in difficult intraoperative conditions. We report a patient who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric band placement, its blockage and surgical removal, sleeve gastrectomy and redo sleeve gastrectomy. After that, staple-line suture failure developed that required endoscopic clipping.
