Management of rare complications in obese patients after laparoscopic gastric bypass

Abstract

The complications resulting from laparoscopic gastric bypass can be categorised into two main groups: early (within 30 days after surgery) and late (after 30 days following surgery). Bleeding, marginal ulcers, and failure of the suture line occur most often. Stenosis of the anastomotic areas, adhesive small bowel obstruction, incarceration of Petersen’s space hernia, gastrogastric fistula, and hemobezoar-induced small bowel obstruction are less often observed.
