    Abstract Purpose of review: To evaluate the current state of bariatric medicolegal activity and explore the reasons of litigation in bariatric surgery. The underlying legal principles in bariatric medicolegal cases and most frequent pitfalls will also be discussed.
    Recent findings: There is a growing number of litigations in bariatric surgery, particularly relating to complications and long waiting lists for bariatric surgery within the public-funded health systems. The main issues are related to consent, lack of follow-up, delayed identification of complications and lack of appropriate emergency management of complications, involving bariatric surgeons, clinicians, general practitioners and multidisciplinary team members. Appropriate multidisciplinary involvement pre- and postoperatively and robust follow-up protocols can help to mitigate the risks. Bariatric surgery requires a unique paradigm with a multidisciplinary approach both pre- and postoperatively to improve the long-term functional outcomes of patients. There is a rising incidence of medicolegal claims following bariatric surgery. The underlying reasons for this are multifactorial including an increase in the volume of surgery, high patient expectations, the incidence of long-term postoperative complications and the requirement of long-term follow-up.

    Abstract Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most commonly performed bariatric operations worldwide. Leaks following RYGB are rare, but the consequences can be devastating. Although most leaks occur at the gastrojejunostomy (GJ) anastomosis, there is a lack of data on modifiable technical factors that can reduce the risk of leaks. Therefore, we evaluated whether the leak pressure of a GJ linear stapled anastomosis is dependent on the closure technique.
    Methods: Two expert surgeons constructed gastric pouches and GJ anastomoses on ex vivo porcine models in a laparoscopic simulator using 30-mm and 45-mm endoscopic staplers. The GJ anastomosis was closed using either a single layer suture, double layer suture or stapler. The endpoints were leak pressure to air insufflation, measured by two independent observers, site of leak and internal circumference of the GJ anastomosis.
    Results: In total, 30 GJ anastomoses were constructed (30 mm, n = 15; 45 mm, n = 15). The GJ anastomosis was closed using single layer (n = 9), double layer (n = 9) and stapled techniques (n = 12). Inter-observer agreement was high. Stapled and double layer closures were more resilient than a single layer closure, with 75% (9/12) stapled closures remaining intact at < 70 mmHg. GJ stoma circumference was lower using a 30-mm stapler (64.8 mm vs 80.2 mm; p < 0.05) but independent of closure technique. The most common leak site was the corner of the closure (67%).
    Conclusion: In summary, the GJ anastomosis closure technique may be a modifiable factor to prevent anastomotic leak.
