Clinical Trial: Warm Saline Irrigation Before Omentopexy to Reduce Early Bleeding After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

U.S., March 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07475169) titled 'Warm Saline Irrigation Before Omentopexy to Reduce Early Bleeding After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy' on Feb. 12.

Brief Summary: This prospective randomized clinical trial evaluates whether warming saline irrigation (37-40 degC) applied to the gastric staple line before performing omentopexy during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) can reduce early postoperative bleeding compared with conventional room-temperature saline irrigation.

Staple-line bleeding remains one of the most relevant early complications after LSG and may lead to hemoglobin drop, prolonged drainage, blood transfusion, or re-intervention. Although reinforce...
