Summary

Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most performed bariatric procedures. But it is also associated with serious and potentially life-threatening staple line-related complications, such as stomach leak and bleeding.

Case report: The article describes a case of surgical treatment of an early fistula between the stomach and the spleen 3 weeks after LSG. We have focused our attention on the diagnosis and possible treatment options for this potentially life-threatening complication.

Conclusion: Efforts to reduce the frequency of leakage after LSG include a number of different measures. It is advisable to have expert knowledge not only in primary bariatric surgery, but also in the management of problems and reoperations in gastrointestinal surgery. An individualized approach and multidisciplinary teamwork are essential for successful therapy.
