Abstract
Duodenal switch (DS) is one of the most effective techniques for the treatment of morbid obesity and its co-morbidities, with mortality rate <1%, but with 9.4% morbidity rates (6.5% due to leaks). In our experience, leaks of the staple-line after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are the most frequent sites of fistula formation and conservative treatment usually takes a long time.We present our experience in the treatment of gastric leaks with coated self-expandable stents (CSES).Keywords
