The Effect of Compression Time for Secure Stapling With a Linear Stapler in Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery
The Effect of Compression Time for Secure Stapling With a Linear Stapler in Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery
Bleeding from the staple line is a complication of linear stapling. After clamping, a short
 period after firing of the laparoscopic linear stapler is recommended. That is, the clinician
 should continue to press the tissue between the prongs of the device to achieve adequate
 hemostasis at the staple line. The significance of the waiting period for hemostasis at the
 staple line has not been empirically clarified in humans. In this study, the investigators
 compared the number of bleeding points use of the laparoscopic linear stapler. Consequently,
 the investigators assessed the effects of time after the firing of linear stapling in
 patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass.
