Core Tip	Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a surgical procedure increasingly performed on obese patients with convincing outcomes. Among its complications, leaks are the most serious. The use of esophageal self-expandable metal stents in these cases has been performed by many authors but reports are limited and stent migration is the main complication of the procedure. Megastent, a new stent dedicated to the treatment of leaks after LSG, seems to resolve most of the problems of the esophageal stents. While published data are limited, they seem support the use of Megastent as the best option for the stenting treatment of a staple-line leak after sleeve gastrectomy. Further studies on larger series are needed to better evaluate definitive outcomes.
