Intussusception After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Correlation Between Radiological and Operative Findings.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Intussusceptions diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) scans in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients could cause serious small bowel obstruction (SBO) or be an incidental finding. The objective of this study was to correlate radiological findings with clinical outcomes to differentiate intussusceptions requiring emergent surgery for SBO.

Methods

A search for acute abdominal CT scans reporting intussusceptions in RYGB patients between 2012 and 2019 at Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden, retrieved 35 scans. These were independently reevaluated by two radiologists for the length and location of the intussusception, whether oral contrast passed through, proximal bowel dilatation, and signs of internal herniation. Clinical outcome in terms of emergency surg
