Sa1959 ENDOSCOPIC INTERNAL DRAINAGE BY DOUBLE PIGTAIL STENTS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF LAPAROSCOPIC SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY LEAKS

Leaks and fistulas after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are a major complication of bariatric surgery. The endoscopic management strategy for post LSG leaks has evolved from closure with covered self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) to endoscopic internal drainage (EID). The aim of this study is to report our experience with the management of post LSG leaks treated with EID, either as primary therapy or after failure of closure therapy with SEMS.
