Excerpt
Gastric leakage after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the “major” complication occurring in approximately 2% of cases [
1‐
5]. After 4 months of unsuccessful medical treatment [
6], a fistula becomes chronic [
4,
7‐
9] and the treatment is surgery with 2 main options: total/subtotal gastrectomy when required [
9] or Roux limb placement (RLP) when feasible [
