- Title

- Abstract
Routine early computed tomography scanner after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in high-risk severely obese patients is effective for bleeding or hematoma diagnosis but not for staple-line leak detection: a prospective study. We read with great interest the article by Lainas et al. [[1]] assessing the routine early computed tomography (CT) scanner examination following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in high-risk patients with severe obesity for the early diagnosis of gastric leak and bleeding.
