Increased staple line leak rates following re-sleeve: analysis comparing re-sleeve versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass conversion and primary sleeve gastrectomy.

The RS group has a higher risk of staple line leaks compared to primary SG and conversion from SG to RYGB. In our study, there was a 2.6-fold increase in staple line leak after re-sleeve compared to RYGB conversion and a 13-fold increase compared to primary SG.
