Excerpt

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has gained popularity because of its relative simplicity and great results shown over the years, both on weight loss- and on obesity-related comorbidities [1]. Some complications may occur during and after surgery such as bleeding and staple line leaks [2]. Laparoscopic devices (LigaSure™ (LA), Valleylab, Boulder, CO, USA) or Caïman ((CA), B. Braun Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) are used to achieve easier tissue dissection and a faster surgery. LA and CA are electrothermal bipolar-activated devices which allow to seal vessels up to 7 mm in diameter. A feedback-controlled response system automatically discontinues energy and is delivered when the seal cycle is complete [3]. The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare intraoperative performance, post-operative results, and clinical outcomes of CA and LA in a large cohort of patients undergoing LSG. …
