Abstract

OBJECTIVE: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is defined as 'the accumulation of excess fat in the body to a degree that may impair health.' Currently, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the most commonly performed surgical procedure for obesity treatment and, if not managed properly, may result in various complications. The most serious early postoperative complications include staple line leakage, bleeding, and pulmonary thromboembolism. This study examines the incidence of early postoperative complications in sleeve gastrectomy patients, with a discussion of relevant literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 335 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at the General Surgery Clinic between January 1, 2017, and March 1, 2022. Fibrin sealant was applied in 311 patients (92.8%) who underwent the standard laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy technique. Five staplers were used in 317 patients (94.6%), while six staplers were used in 18 patients (5.4%). Postoperative complications occurring within the first month were recorded. RESULTS: This study included 335 patients (67 males, 268 females), aged between 18 and 72 years. Postoperatively, the leak rate was 2.4%, while both the bleeding and pulmonary thromboembolism rates were 0.6%. Neither the use of fibrin sealant nor the number of staplers had a statistically significant effect on leak rates. However, bleeding was significantly higher in patients who did not receive fibrin sealant compared to those who did (p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS: Our rates of post-surgical leaks, bleeding, and pulmonary thromboembolism were found to be consistent with the existing literature. While the effectiveness of fibrin sealant in preventing leaks remains debatable, its impact on bleeding has been observed to be significant. Fibrin sealant appears to be an effective measure in preventing bleeding from the staple line in patients undergoing surgical treatment.

Özet

AMAÇ: Obezite, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) tarafından ‘Vücuttaki yağ birikiminin sağlığı bozacak boyuta ulaşması’ olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Günümüzde laparaskopik sleeve gastrektomi obezite tedavisinde kullanılan en sık cerrahi yöntemdir ve doğru yönetilmediği zaman beraberinde birçok komplikasyon getirmektedir. Stapler hattından kaçak gelişmesi, kanama ve pulmoner tromboemboli en ciddi erken dönem komplikasyonlar olarak görülmektedir. Biz bu çalışmamızda ameliyat sonrası erken dönemde ortaya çıkan komplikasyon oranlarımızı literatürler eşliğinde tartışarak araştırdık. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Genel Cerrahi Kliniği’nde 1 Ocak 2017 ile 1 Mart 2022 tarihleri arasında laparaskopik sleeve gastrektomi yapılan 335 hasta retrospektif olarak çalışmamıza dahil edilmiştir. Standart laparaskopik sleeve gastrektomi tekniği yapılan tüm hastaların 311 (%92,8)’inde fibrin yapıştırıcı kullanılmıştır. 317 (%94,6) hastaya 5 tane stapler, 18 (%5,4) hastaya 6 tane stapler kullanılmıştır. Postoperatif dönemde 1. aya kadar oluşan komplikasyonlar kayıt altına alınmıştır. BULGULAR: Araştırmaya yaşları 18 ile 72 arasında değişen, 67’si erkek 268’i kadın hasta olmak üzere 335 hasta dahil edildi. Cerrahi sonrası %2,4 oranında kaçak, %0,6 oranında kanama, %0,6 oranında pulmoner tromboemboli görüldü. Hastalarda kullanılan fibrin yapıştırıcı ve stapler sayısı kaçak açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi. Fibrin yapıştırıcı kullanılmayan hastalarda fibrin yapıştırıcı kullanılan hastalara göre istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde kanama daha yüksekti (p=0,018). SONUÇ: Cerrahi sonrası kaçak, kanama ve pulmoner tromboemboli komplikasyon oranlarımızın literatür çalışmalarıyla uyumlu olduğu görüldü. Kullandığımız fibrin yapıştırıcının kaçak önleme konusundaki etkinliği tartışmalı olmakla birlikte kanama üzerine etkisi yüksek görülmüştür. Cerrahi tedavi yapılan hastalarda fibrin yapıştırıcının stapler hattından kanamayı etkili bir şekilde önlemesi açısından kullanılabileceği düşüncesindeyiz.
