BLEEDING, COMPLICATIONS, LEAKAGE, POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
This study aimed to examine the potential effectiveness of precompression of 30 s
before stapler firing and a waiting period of 30 s after firing, without utilizing
any additional support or reinforcement for the staple line, in minimizing both
intraoperative and postoperative complications. We hypothesized that the waiting
period would result in optimal B formation, thereby reducing bleeding and leakage.
Identifying factors such as staple size during LSG and firing technique can assist
in improving patient care and optimizing bariatric center outcomes by predicting
complications.
