Efficiency of TISSEEL for Sleeve Gastrectomy Complications

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Morbid Obesity
Interventions
Other: no tisseel
Registration Number
NCT01613664
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens
Brief Summary

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy has emerged over the last 20 years as a treatment of choice in the surgical management of patients with morbid obesity. However, this restrictive procedure is accompanied by outcomes such as gastric fistula (5%), postoperative hemorrhage (1%) and intra-abdominal loco regional collections (1%). At present, there is no sufficiently reliable technique to prevent these complications.

Detailed Description

The hypothesis is the following : the use of fibrin glue (Tissucol ®) during Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy would reduce the incidence of complications (gastric fistula, intra-abdominal hemorrhage and intra-abdominal locoregional collection).

The aim is to investigate whether the use of fibrin glue (Tissucol®) during Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy reduces the incidence of postoperative complications (gastric fistula, intra-abdominal hemorrhage and intra-abdominal locoregional collection)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
presence of post-operative complicationspost operative day 30

The primary endpoint corresponds to the presence of complications after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy during the follow up period. A complication is considered as "present" if at least one of the following three items is present:

* Gastric fistula

* Postoperative hemorrhage

* intra-abdominal locoregional collection

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the overall mortality at one monthpost-operative day 30
The intra-abdominal locoregional collection's ratepost-operative day 30
the length of staypost-operative day 30
the rate of readmissionpost-operative day 30
the rate of reinterventionpost-operative day 30
the specific mortality at one monthpost-operative day 30
the rate of postoperative morbiditypostoperative day 30

the morbidity will be evaluated according to the clavien dindo classification

The gastric fistula's ratepost operative day 30
The postoperative hemorrhage's ratepost-operative day 30
