Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the management of complications following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, focusing on treating fistulas and stenosis. Despite technical advancements, leaks and fistulas remain common post-surgery. The case presented involves a patient with a chronic fistula and stenosis treated through endoscopic procedures like septotomy and stent placement. The patient showed improvement post-treatment, with the stent eventually being removed without recurrence of symptoms. The importance of a multidisciplinary team and comprehensive approach to managing complications like stenosis is highlighted. Endoscopic tunneled full-thickness strictorotomy is suggested as a promising alternative to surgical intervention for treating stenosis in such cases.
