dc.description.abstractBackground: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is the most common type of surgical treatment for morbid obesity. One of the most important complications is leakage from the stapler line. Early detection of a leakage is important in preventing undesirable events. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of postoperative drain fluid pH on early detection of leakage. Methods: This study was performed with 63 patients including 33 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity (Group SG) and 30 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Group LC), as the control group. Fluid sample was obtained after surgery with intra-abdominal drain. The pH value of this fluid was measured using a pH meter at the Ohaus device in the biochemistry laboratory of study hospital. Results: When the differences in the mean pH values of patients who underwent obesity surgery and gallbladder surgery were evaluated; no statistically significant difference was found between the mean pH value of patients (p: 0.808> 0.05). Conclusion: None of our patient had leakage and unable to demonstrate how would be the drain fluid pH value if there was a leak, we suggest that drain fluid pH would not be a suitable alarming sign for a leakage in the early period. Because we know that most of the leaks occur at the proximal part of the stomach and that there is more saliva drainage through the line of leakage. Although it is known that the acidic fluid of the stomach can be drained from the same leak in this condition, it is not unlikely that saliva can bring the pH to normal levels. Therefore, if the pH of the drain fluid is close to normal, it is meaning that there is no leakage from the site.en_US
