Staple Line Reinforcement in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy; Randomized Comparative Study

Introduction: The most common bariatric surgery in the world nowadays is laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG). Surgeons performing LSG use Staple Line Reinforcement (SLR) to decrease the rate of complications likestaple line bleeding and leakage. Researchers have looked into SLR and found that it can help prevent thesecomplications. The aim of this work was to study the outcome of SLR in LSG on postoperative complications.Aim of work: The aim of this study was to look at how SLR in LSG affected primary surgical complications likebleeding, gastric outlet obstruction leading to vomiting and leakage. And study secondary outcomes like losingweight.Patients and methods: This randomized controlled comparative study was carried out on 345 patients aged from18 to 60 years old of both sexes, seeking LSG with BMI > 35 and
