ABSTRACT
We present a case of intraoperative detection of an iatrogenic chyle duct injury during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The chyle duct injury was identified and managed by ligature, preventing postoperative chylous ascites.

As bariatric surgeries (BS) increase, more incidental findings are liable to be discovered. Incidental gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) during BS can be found in around 0.7% of the cases. In this article, we have performed a systematic review of the literature and added our data to those of the review to review a conceptual treatment strategy to both improve patient outcomes and decrease the risk of overall cancer. With the rise of new bariatric techniques, we have proposed a new classification to BS to enhance our description of the treatment strategy.
