Oversewing staple line of the gastric remnant in gastric bypass reduces postoperative bleeding

Abstract:

Background Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a surgery with low rate complications. However, it is not exempt from them, and 1–6% suffer complications such as postoperative bleeding. Many intraoperative techniques have been evaluated to reduce postoperative bleeding, like the oversewing or reinforcement of the staple line. This study aims to evaluate the rate of postoperative bleeding in the oversewing of the staple line of the gastric remnant group versus the stapling only group. Methods This is a 2-center, case-control study. We randomly selected two groups who underwent RYGB or OAGB: group A (n = 225) with oversewing from 2019 to 2020 and group B (n = 225) with stapling only between the period of 2017–2018; both groups with similar demographic characteristics. Results The overall mean age was 37.39 ± 9.6 years and mean BMI was 41.59 ± 8.6 kg/m2; the postoperative bleeding rate was …
