  • Staple-line reinforcement or not during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a historical cohort study

    ObjectiveTo explore the necessity of staple-line reinforcement (SLR) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) through evaluating its potential benefit and safety. MethodsA historical cohort study was conducted in the Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The consecutive patients underwent LSG for morbid obesity by the same operative team from June 2022 to August 2023 were included, which were assigned into SLR group and un-SLR group according to the SLR or not. Both groups were assessed in terms of the operating time, postoperative hospital stay, total hospital stay, surgical costs, and complications. ResultsA total of 87 patients underwent the LSG from June 2022 to August 2023, all of whom were successfully completed without any conversion to open surgery. Among them, there were 34 cases in the SLR group and 53 cases in the un-SLR group. There were no statistical differences in the age, gender, body mass index, and so on between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no postoperative complications such as gastric leakage, bleeding, or gastrointestinal stenosis, and no perioperative death, as well as no case of reoperation within 30 d after surgery in all patients of the two groups. And there were no statistical differences in the postoperative hospital stay and total hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). However, it was found that the operative time was shorter (P<0.05), the surgical costs and total hospital stay costs were also less (P<0.05) in the un-SLR group as compared with the SLR group. ConclusionsBased on the analysis of cases data in this study, there is no added benefit in terms of reducing staple-line leak, bleeding, etc. in adopting SLR during LSG, and the operating time is prolonged and the cost is increased. So the necessity of the SLR or not during LSG needs to be further researched.
