BACKGROUND
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in morbid obesity has proved to be a safe and reproducible technique. Sleeve gastrectomy, however, is not free of complications. On the other hand, gastric volvulus is reported in those subjects where, either because of laxity of the gastric anatomical
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
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
A 54-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with a 2-week history of alimentary vomiting. She had undergone laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding 6 years earlier. CT revealed a mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus and ischemia on the gastric wall. Emergent diagnostic laparoscopy was
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a widely performed surgical procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity. LAGB complications have declined since its development in the early 1990s. However, LAGB complications are still occurring and can sometimes be serious and life threatening.
Adjustable gastric band insertion is performed for the treatment of morbid obesity. There are multiple complications associated with this procedure but caecal volvulus is not commonly associated with this procedure. A case of caecal volvulus as a late complication post laparoscopic gastric band
Complications associated with jejunoileal bypass for morbid obesity are being recognized more frequently. A variety of mechanical obstructions in the defunctionalized small-bowel segment have recently been corrected in seven surgical patients. Volvulus of the defunctional limb was the most frequent
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
BACKGROUND
Four different types of internal hernias (IH) are known to occur after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) performed for morbid obesity. We evaluate multidetector row helical computed tomography (MDCT) features for their differentiation.
METHODS
From a prospectively collected
Surgery is an increasingly important management option for patients with obesity. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is a procedure employed to treat morbid obesity refractory to medical therapy. It works by reducing the capacity of the stomach and promoting early satiety. We report the unusual
Alström syndrome (ALMS1, MIM 203800) is a rare, autosomal recessively inherited monogenic condition caused by mutations in the ALMS1 gene located on the short arm of chromosome 2. ALMS1 is a multisystem condition characterized by childhood onset of blindness, dilated cardiomyopathy, sensorineural
With the rising worldwide obesity epidemic, bariatric surgeries are gaining popularity as the most effective modality for achieving long term results in weight loss and reducing its metabolic sequels.A 36-year-old female presented with a sudden onset of In a consecutive series of 40 Scott-type jejunoileal shunts for morbid obesity, only two patients had the bypassed bowel drained end-to-side into the midsigmoid colon. In both of these patients, typical "bypass enteritis" as described by Passaro developed, but they were found to have volvulus at the
Internal hernias are a specific cause of acute abdominal pain and are a well-known complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity. Although internal hernias are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, they may evolve towards serious complications, such as extensive bowel
