Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become an increasing bariatric procedure. The most common complication is gastric leak from the staple line, observed in approximately 3% of cases, and can result in long and incapacitating treatment. The diameter of the bougie used to calibrate the remnant stomach could impact the rate of gastric leak, a higher diameter being correlated with a lower risk of leak, without lowering long-term weight loss. The aim of this prospective randomized trial is to compare the outcomes of LSG according to the use of a standard care bougie calibre or 48-Fr on postoperative gastric leak and mid-term weight loss.
