| Abstract |
The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the fastest rising bariatric procedure being performed in the United States. Some surgeons advocate for an intra-operative endoscopy for their leak test, while others utilize air via a form of an oral gastric tube. We present a case demonstrating the benefits of endoscopy intra-operatively as well as discuss our experience of 200 consecutive sleeve gastrectomies. The case is a 37 years old female undergoing LSG for treatment for morbid obesity. As is our practice, we routinely perform an intra-operative endoscopy to help ensure a tight seal on the remnant stomach prior to completion of the procedure. During our endoscopy, a blood clot overlying a portion of the esophagus was noted, evacuated and evaluated and found to have a non-bleeding mucosal tear. This was unusual in our experience. There was no leak found on intra-operative endoscopy. After the patient woke up, she starting to have bouts of hematemesis. The decision was made to go back to the OR and evaluate her endoscopically. rather than attempting a laparoscopy based off of our endoscopic findings. Upon take back, we found a mucosal tear in her distal esophagus that now started bleeding, and her staple line was intact. Hemostasis was successfully achieved with two epinephrine injections. The remaining portion of her postoperative course was uncomplicated. The patient was able to be safely managed with a post-operative EGD. The intra-operative endoscopic findings allowed us to be more confident that this was an esophageal issue rather than a staple line problem, and were able to start with EGD prior to laparoscopy. Additionally, from a visualization perspective, the intra-operative endoscopy allows you to fully visualize the staple line, evaluate for twists or narrowing, and test for leak with confidence. From a residency standpoint, it also increases the confidence of residence to perform endoscopy on intubated patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 June 2019.
All research outputs
#15,352,477
of 22,836,570 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research
#19
of 35 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#228,237
of 388,809 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Surgical Innovation and Research
#2
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,836,570 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 35 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.2. This one scored the same or higher as 16 of them.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 388,809 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
