Abstract

Background: To be able to prevent morbid obesity in the long-term, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most effective surgical interventions. However, leakage and bleeding from the stapler line are significant complications. The aim of this study was to determine the role of the levels of plasma presepsin in the detection of stapler leakage.
