We will present a surgical technique of LSG performed in our hospital and discuss the methodology and diagnostic capabilities of the main imaging methods – upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series and computed tomography (CT) – with an emphasis on the detection of postoperative complications.

Jul 2, 2023 · Sleeve gastrectomy is a bariatric surgical procedure involving resection of the greater curvature of the fundus and body of the stomach to leave approximately 15% of the original gastric volume (60-100 mL), thus creating functional restriction.

Feb 1, 2014 · Fluoroscopic upper GI examinations with water-soluble contrast agents and CT are useful imaging tests for detecting leaks after sleeve gastrectomy, and barium studies are also useful for showing strictures or gastric outlet obstruction as a complication of this surgery.

To determine the clinical, radiographic, and endoscopic findings of sleeve stenosis after sleeve gastrectomy and to correlate treatment with outcomes. We identified 43 patients who underwent barium studies to evaluate upper GI symptoms after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is currently the most frequently performed bariatric procedure worldwide. 1 Leak rates between 0% and 5.5% have been reported. 2 The long staple line and high intraluminal pressure synergize to create the risk for leaks. 3 Leaks are difficult to manage, and 80% of leaks occur after hospital discharge. 4 ...

Background: There has been an increase in sleeve gastrectomy (SG) procedures being performed worldwide, and a paralleled rise in prevalence of gastric sleeve stenosis (GSS). Symptoms include dysphagia, reflux, and obstructive symptoms.

The typical post-operative findings of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) procedures on upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series and computerized tomography (CT) are presented.

Variable gastric morphology has been identified on routine upper gastrointestinal series after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This test might give us useful information beyond the pres-ence of leak and obstruction.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an increasingly popular bariatric surgical procedure and is currently the surgical procedure most commonly performed in France and, more recently, in the United.

Sleeve gastrectomy is an effective weight loss surgery. UGI series is generally performed soon after surgery to detect a leak. Extraluminal contrast may be seen in a track, collection, drain or in the peritoneum. CT is useful to detect leak, hemorrhage, splenic injury, abscess, and thromboembolism.
