Bougie Sleeve Trial (BOUST)

August 17, 2020 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Multicentric Randomized Prospective Study Assessing the Impact of the Bougie Calibration Size During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on the Rate of Postoperative Staple-line Leak Rate

Staple-line leak is the most frequent and incapacitating complication after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The aim of this prospective randomized trial is to compare the staple-line leak rate after LSG according to the use of a standard bougie calibre (34, 36 or 38 Fr) or 48-Fr, assuming that a higher diameter is correlated with a lower risk of leak, without lowering long-term weight loss.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become an increasing bariatric procedure. The most common complication is gastric leak from the staple line, observed in approximately 3% of cases, and can result in long and incapacitating treatment. The diameter of the bougie used to calibrate the remnant stomach could impact the rate of gastric leak, a higher diameter being correlated with a lower risk of leak, without lowering long-term weight loss.

The aim of this prospective randomized trial is to compare the outcomes of LSG according to the use of a standard care bougie calibre or 48-Fr on postoperative gastric leak and mid-term weight loss.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy using 48-Fr bougie
Patients will undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with a 48-Fr (16 mm) bougie
After gastric mobilization, the 48-Fr bougie is inserted through the mouth by the anesthesiologist and positioned in the stomach. Patient is blind to the type of bougie used. Gastrectomy is performed alongside the calibration bougie.
Active Comparator: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy using standard care bougie
Patients will undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with a standard care bougie (34, 36 or 38-Fr)
After gastric mobilization, the standard care bougie is inserted through the mouth by the anesthesiologist and positioned in the stomach. Patient is blind to the type of bougie used. Gastrectomy is performed alongside the calibration bougie.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative gastric leak rate
Time Frame: 30 days following the procedure

Postoperative gastric leak rate during the first month following the procedure will be proven either on:

  • Morphologic examination (with contrast ingestion)
  • Blue dye test during surgical reintervention or postoperative course
  • Contrast opacification during endoscopy
30 days following the procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative morbidity rate
Time Frame: 90 days following the procedure
Postoperative morbidity rate will be calculated regarding any complication occurring 90 days following the procedure.
90 days following the procedure
Short-term weight loss
Time Frame: At 3 and 6 months after the procedure
Short-term weight loss will be assessed by calculation of excess weight loss at 3 and 6 months after the procedure.
At 3 and 6 months after the procedure
Mid-term weight loss
Time Frame: At 1 and 2 years after the procedure
