Glue vs. belly tissue: which better prevents leaks after sleeve surgery?
NCT ID NCT07339020
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two methods to strengthen the staple line during weight-loss sleeve surgery: using medical glue (cyanoacrylate) or a piece of the patient's own belly tissue (omentum). Seventy adults aged 18-65 with obesity took part. The goal was to see which method better prevents bleeding, pain, or leaks in the month after surgery. Results may help make this common surgery safer.
