Brief Summary

Sleeve gastrectomy is a stapler dependent bariatric procedure. A hand-sewn sleeve gastrectomy can be necessary under certain circumstances. Here, the investigatorsaimed to compare the outcomes of hand-sewn and stapled sleeve gastrectomies for the first time. In the hand-sewn group, no staplers were used and after vertical resection of the stomach by energy devices, the remnant stomach was closed by two rows intracorporeal sutures. In the stapler group, sleeve gastrectomy was done in the usual way.

Study Arms (2)

Hand-Sewn Sleeve Gastrectomy

EXPERIMENTAL
Procedure: Hand-Sewn Sleeve Gastrectomy

Stapled Sleeve Gastrectomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Procedure: Stapled Sleeve Gastrectomy

Interventions

After laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, gastrectomy site is hand-sewn with 3/0 polypropylene suture and the specimen is removed transorally.

Hand-Sewn Sleeve Gastrectomy

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is performed via 60 mm linear stapler (Endo GIATM Ultra, Covidien) .

Stapled Sleeve Gastrectomy
