A novel bariatric stent In the management of sleeve gastrectomy leaks

In the current manuscript (1) the authors reported a retrospective series of 37 endoscopic treatments of acute and early leaks with a novel large fully covered specific stent. They should be commended for inciting bariatric professionals to progress in order to better address the complications in bariatric surgery. Their past activity proved improvement in the management of this dreaded complication following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). It is legitimate for them to propose us new tools that should also be evaluated in larger prospective clinical trials.
