Abstract:Key Clinical MessageBiliopancreatic limb obstruction after laparoscopic Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass is a challenging diagnosis as the symptoms are very nonspecific. CT scan is the optimal study for evaluation. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential in reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition.
Small bowel intussusception is a rare long-term complication after RYGB. The underlying causative mechanism remains unclear. This rare condition may cause obstruction and lead to bowel necrosis if not recognized and treated promptly.
