Abstract
Laparoscopic sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is a new restrictive bariatric procedure increasingly indicated in the treatment of morbid obesity. Postoperative complications are mainly represented by gastric fistula with an occurrence rate of 0% to 5.1% in the literature. This complication is difficult to manage and requires multiple radiological, endoscopic, and surgical procedures. We are reporting second such case till date following Laparoscopic sleeve Gastrectomy. The present report describes the serious nature of this complication in a patient after an uneventful Laparoscopic sleeve Gastrectomy.
