Staple Usage Comparison Between Suction Calibration System and Rubber Bougie in LSG

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) procedures are growing in popularity which makes it important for institutions to be as efficient as possible. Suction calibration system (SCS) devices have been shown to reduce cork-screwing during the stapling process in LSG procedures which would also mean a shorter staple line. This shorter staple line may translate to a decrease in staple usage.
