A655 Accidental Stapling of Temperature probe during Sleeve Gastrectomy

This Video demonstrates a case where accidental stapling of the temperature probe occurred during performance of a Laparoscopic Sleeve gastrectomy. The temp robe was released after sharp dissection and we closed the resulting gastrotomy in two layers and secured omentum over the repair. The patient has done well in the psotoperative period. While our institution and OR team has a long-standing policy of no placement of esophageal temperature probes, or naso- or orogastric tubes during any bariatric or foregut case that will require stapling.
