Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures worldwide with good results, high patient acceptance, and low complication rates. The most relevant perioperative complication is the staple line leak. For the treatment of this complication, endoscopic negative pressure therapy has proven particularly effective. The correct time to start endoscopic negative pressure therapy has not been the subject of studies to date. Methods: Twelve patients were included in this retrospective data analysis over three years. Endoscopic negative pressure therapy was carried out using innovative open pore suction devices. Patients were treated with simultaneous surgery and endoscopy, so called rendezvous-procedure (Group A) or solely endoscopically, or in sequence surgically and endoscopically (Group B). Therapy data of the procedures and outcome measures, including duration of therapy, therapy success, and change of treatment strategy, were collected and analysed. Results: In each group, six patients were treated (mean age 52.96 years, 4 males, 8 females). Poor initial clinical situation, time span of endoscopic negative pressure therapy (Group A 31 days vs. Group B 18 days), and mean length of hospital stay (Group A 39.5 days vs. Group B 20.17 days) were higher in patients with rendezvous procedures. One patient in Group B died during the observation time. Discussion: Rendezvous procedures for patients with staple line leaks after sleeve gastrectomy is indicated for serious ill patients with perigastric abscesses and in need of laparoscopic lavage. The one-stage complication management with the rendezvous procedure seems not to result in an obvious advantage in the further outcome in patients with staple line leaks after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Abstract Purpose Staple line leak (SLL) is a serious complication after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Common endoscopic treatment options include self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS), endoscopic internal drainage (EID), and endoscopic closure. The endoscopic negative pressure therapy (ENPT) is a promising treatment option combining temporary sealing of the defect with drainage of the inflammatory bed. In this study, we compare the outcome of ENPT and SEMS for the treatment of SLL following SG. Materials and Methods A retrospective cohort of 27 patients (21 females) treated at a single center for SLL after SG was included. ENPT was primary therapy for 14 patients and compared with 13 patients treated primarily using SEMS. Results ENPT was associated with a significant reduction of hospital stay (19 ± 15.1 vs. 56.69 ± 47.21 days, p = 0.027), reduced duration of endoscopic treatment (9.8 ± 8.6 vs. 44.92 ± 60.98 days, p = 0.009), and shorter transabdominal drain dwell time (15 (5–96) vs. 45 (12–162) days, p = 0.014) when compared to SEMS. Whereas endoscopic management was successful in 12/14 (85.7%) of patients from the ENPT group, SEMS was successful in only 5/13 (38.5%) of patients (p = 0.015). Furthermore, ENPT was associated with a significant reduction of endoscopic adverse events compared with SEMS (14.3% vs. 76.92% p = 0.001). Conclusion Compared with SEMS, ENPT is effective and safe in treating SLL after SG providing higher success rates, shorter treatment duration, and lower adverse events rates.

The study aims to assess the significance of negative pressure therapy in the treatment of 1 January 2014 - 31 June 2017. The objectives intend to evaluate the healing time required after applying the method and the functional consequences for the patient. A prospective study was conducted on a sample of 31 patients with various tipe of wounds which were monitored their clinical course between September 2014 - February 2017, following negative pressure therapy. There were used vacuum assisted closure devices (VAC � -Hartman) in order to apply negative pressure to the wound, while complying with specified settings in accordance with patients� outcome. Healing was obtained in all cases, to an average hospital stay of 30 days and 12 days of therapy application.The negative result of microbial cultures was obtained after an average of 7.55 days by simultaneous application of negative pressure and antibiotic treatment according to the antibiogram. After basic treatment of the wound, auxiliary methods such as negative pressure contribute to the healing. Evolution was favorable with wound granulation in 95% cases, which allowed surgery under local anesthesia, and defect was covered with skin graft. VAC therapy falls into the last group of treatments by eliminating healing inhibitors. This regenerates the wound in a damp environment and essentially turns an open wound into a closed system.

The study aims to assess the significance of negative pressure therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot.The objectives intend to evaluate the healing time required after applying the method and the functional consequences for the patient. A prospective study was conducted on a sample of 37 patients with diabetic foot were monitored their clinical course between September 2014 - April 2017, following negative pressure therapy. There were used vacuum assisted closure devices (VAC � -Hartman) in order to apply negative pressure to the wound, while complying with specified settings (negative pressure, time of use of a kit) in accordance with patients� outcome.There were monitored changes in wound size (planimetric and volumetric measurement), their bacterial load and duration of treatment. Healing was obtained in all cases, to an average hospital stay of 27.3 days and 8 days of therapy application.The negative result of microbial cultures was obtained after an average of 6.45 days by simultaneous application of negative pressure and antibiotic treatment according to the antibiogram. Skin grafts were necessary to close the defect in 4 cases. After basic treatment of the wound, auxiliary methods such as negative pressure contribute to the healing.In patients with diabetic foot who were required surgical intervention, the use of negative pressure therapy yielded a significant benefit in the preservation of the affected limb, after minimal excision.The results we obtained throughout our experience recommend use of NPTW technique as indication for abdominal wall surgery in closing abdominal wall defects, compartment syndrome and surgical site infection after prosthetic mesh.
