Intraoperative iodinated contrast swallow with CT-scan delayed control for detection of early complications in laparoscopic gastric bypass: A case series of 260 cases
Abstract:Background
Laparoscopic Roux en Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) is a technically challenging operation with potentially severe surgical complications. A large number of tests have been proposed in order to early identify them in the immediate post-operative period but none was completely satisfactory. Actually, there is no data concerning the use of an early diagnostic protocol based on an intraoperative contrast swallow and a CT- scan at 48 h.
