Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Do we need to oversew the staple line?
This randomized trial has so far shown oversew of LSG to be significantly useless to prevent fistulas formation in patients selected according to our study design.
In children with DR-HD, NS is a safe rehydration fluid with a satisfactory rate of Na(+) drop and relatively low incidence of morbidity and mortality. Judicious use of IVE should be exerted and closer monitoring should be guaranteed for children requiring large volumes for IVE and for those showing rapid initial drop of serum Na(+) to avoid neurological complications and poor outcome.
