Applying Metal Clips at the Tip of Gastrojejunostomy Stapling Site to Reduce Intraluminal Early Postoperative Bleeding

Nowadays, the surgical option is the most potent and durable treatment modality for morbidly obese patients worldwide. Early and late postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding is one complication encountered after bariatric surgery. One of the probable locations of gastrointestinal bleeding after gastric bypass is the gastrojejunostomy anastomosis site. The use of metal clips in the tip of the inner aspect of gastrojejunostomy anastomosis may reduce intraluminal bleeding in the early postoperative period.
