Portomesenteric Venous Thrombosis Post-Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Do Energy Systems Pose as Instigating Factor to This Infrequent Complication?

摘要

Background:Portomesenteric venous thrombosis (PMVT), a rare complication after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Severe consequences are owed to a high risk of bowel ischemia. Our aim is to present a series of patients who developed PMVT after LSG, highlighting the potential role of the vessel sealer and divider as a risk factor.
