Core Tip	Gastric leak is one of the most feared complications after a sleeve gastrectomy. Routine oversewing of the staple line decreases the hemorrhagic complications but may not decrease the leak rate. Fever and tachycardia are the two most important clinical factors in the detection of gastric leaks and should never be neglected. The treatment modality should be based on the clinical status of the patient and the timing of the leak. Complete endoscopic approach via natural orifices transluminal endoscopic surgery, diversion using a stent and closure with glue or clips is a reasonable option in selected patients and specialized centers.
