Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients will be randomized into 2 groups:

* Vit E group: Vitamin E acetate ointment will be applied over staple lines and anastomoses in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
