Reduction in anastomotic strictures using bioabsorbable circular staple line reinforcement in laparoscopic gastric bypass

The results have shown that the use of bioabsorbable circular staple line reinforcement on gastrojejunal anastomoses in laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass significantly reduces the incidence of anastomotic stricture. The standard use of the bioabsorbable reinforcement on circular staple line anastomoses could be a part of the solution to the most common complication of laparoscopic gastric bypass.
