Intussusception involving the excluded small bowel segment is an infrequent complication following intestinal by-pass procedures for morbid obesity. Because the intussusception involves bowel not in continuity with the alimentary stream, the usual diagnostic clinical and radiographic patterns fail
In 600 patients who have undergone small bowel bypass for the treatment of morbid obesity, we have encountered three patients who developed intussusception in the bypassed intestine. Diagnosis in these cases has been difficult but in two patients with surgical marker clips applied to the transected
BACKGROUND
Small bowel obstruction secondary to intussusception is a rare but important consequence of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
METHODS
A 37-year old female presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. She had undergone RYGB 5-years previously for obesity. CT revealed a
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this work is to consider the mechanical complications of jejunoileal bypass for morbid obesity which can have a serious outcome because of the occult nature of the symptoms.
METHODS
The mechanical complications of jejunoileal bypass are mainly intussusception of the bypassed
Obstruction of the small intestine is a recognized complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for morbid obesity. Reported causes after bariatric surgery include volvulus, adhesion, internal hernia, hemorrhagic bezoar, incarcerated ventral hernia, and intussusception. Intussusception after
A man who had undergone jejunoileal bypass for morbid obesity had cramping abdominal pains for which no cause could be found, despite repeated clinical examinations and numerous investigations. Only during anesthesia could the large mass formed by the intussusception be palpated. Following reduction
Intussusception is a life-threatening illness, with incompletely understood aetiology, although some predisposing factors are known. Intussusception frequently occurs in well-nourished chubby infants. We aimed to determine whether patients presenting with intussusception have a high A 34 year old woman with bowel bypass surgery and persistent abdominal pain had intussusception of the blind loop, which was visualized on an abdominal ultrasound examination. The ultransonic and radiographic findings are compared and presented. Ultrasound should prove to be an invaluable tool in
Intussusception after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure (RYGBP) is a rare complication that typically presents late after open or laparoscopic procedures with intermittent partial or complete bowel obstruction. It may be antegrade (peristaltic) or retrograde (antiperistaltic) and usually the common
Invagination of the defunctionalized small intestine after jejunoileal bypass operation for morbid obesity is a serious but rare complication since the introduction of Wills' technique. The possibility, however, still exists of mechanical obstruction of other parts of the defunctionalized small
Gastric bypass patients are at risk for small-bowel obstruction secondary to adhesions, internal hernias, intussusception and volvulus. Most gastric bypass patients do not present with classic obstructive symptoms. We present a rare case of concurrent intussusception and volvulus in a woman with
