Roux en Y gastric bypass and iterative intussusception at the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis: Conversion into one anastomosis gastric bypass (with video) - A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this article is to describe a rare complication of Roux en Y gastric bypass (RYGB): recurrent intestinal intussusception of the biliary limb, and an original treatment: the removal of the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis with conversion into "short limb" one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB).

Presentation of case

A 25-year-old patient underwent RYGB fashioned with a 50 cm-length biliary loop and a 150 cm-length alimentary loop. She was hospitalized other 3 times in the following months for episodes of acute abdominal pain and excessive weight loss, with CT scans showing intussusception at the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis.
