Brief summary
A prospective, randomized study will be performed in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) as bariatric procedure. The patients will be randomized into 2 groups: those patients undergoing an intra-abdominal lavage with normal saline (Group 1) and those undergoing an intra-abdominal lavage with a gentamicin-clindamycin solution (Group 2). Postoperative pain and C reactive protein will be investigated 24 hours after surgery.
