Metabolic surgery has proven to be an effective treatment for obesity, with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy being the most popular procedure. Omentopexy (OP) is proposed as a strategy to reduce associated complications. Objective was to determine the effectiveness of omentopexy in controlling post-surgical symptoms and to measure the need for re-intervention, leakage, bleeding, and mortality in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Of these patients, 53 received LSG with omentopexy (OP) and 52 underwent LSG without omentopexy (NO OP) between 2022 and 2023. Each group was attended by a different surgeon. The analysis focused on data concerning gastrointestinal symptoms recorded 24 hours postoperatively, as well as documented cases of bleeding, leakage, re-operation, and mortality during the hospitalization period
