    Esophageal perforation during intragastric balloon therapy: management of a patient with late referral
    (2023-01-01) ERMERAK, NEZİH ONUR; UPRAK, TEVFİK KIVILCIM; LAÇİN, TUNÇ; YILDIZELİ, BEDRETTİN; YEGEN, ŞEVKET CUMHUR; ERMERAK N. O., Uprak K. T., Emran M., LAÇİN T., YILDIZELİ B., YEGEN Ş. C.
    Minimally invasive treatment modalities like intragastric balloon therapy (IBT) gained popularity in the treatment of obesity [1]. Some morbidities have been reported in the literature, but it is limited. Esophageal perforation is the most feared complication of the procedure. Although endoscopic stent placement can be chosen as a treatment option in stable patients, most of the patients are treated with surgical drainage and primary repair [2]. We report an unusual case of intragastric balloon placement complicated with esophageal perforation which was successfully treated with a surgical approach after late referral.

    Management of staple line leaks after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: Single-center experience
    (2024-05-31) UPRAK, TEVFİK KIVILCIM; COŞKUN, MÜMİN; UĞURLU, MUSTAFA ÜMİT; GÜNAL, ÖMER; CİNGİ, ASIM; YEGEN, ŞEVKET CUMHUR; UPRAK T. K., COŞKUN M., UĞURLU M. Ü., GÜNAL Ö., CİNGİ A., YEGEN Ş. C.
    Objective: In obesity surgery, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a frequently applied method. However, there are certain complications. Leakage is one of the most serious complications after surgery, causing postoperative morbidity and sometimes mortality. There is no consensus about management of leaks after LSG. In our study, we aimed to present our experience on the management of LSG leaks. Patients and Methods: Patients who underwent LSG between 2010-2017 in a tertiary university hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, endoscopic and surgical interventions, morbidity, and mortality rates of patients diagnosed with LSG leak were analyzed from prospectively recorded data. Results: Leak was observed in 11 (2.15%) of a total of 510 LSG patients. Six (54%) patients were diagnosed as acute and 5 were early leaks. Stent was applied to most of the patients (72%) with or without surgical exploration. The average length of stay in hospital was 21 days. Mortality was observed in 2 patients. Conclusions: Consequently, leakage after LSG is a complication that requires multimodal therapy. Surgical treatment combined with endoscopic intervention may increase success.
