Gastroduodenal Intussusception After Conversion Of Gastric Plication To Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass: A Case Report With Intraoperative Video

Bariatric surgery is a highly effective long-term treatment for obesity, leading to sustained weight loss.However, it is not without complications.One recognized postoperative issue following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity is intestinal obstruction [1].Various causes have been identified, including volvulus, adhesions, internal hernias, incarcerated ventral hernias and intussusception.Intussusception, though rare, is a serious and potentially lifethreatening long-term complication whose etiology remains largely unclear.The most common form (70%) involves retrograde intussusception of the common channel towards the jejunojejunostomy [1].In contrast, anterograde intussusception of the remnant stomach into the duodenum is an exceptionally rare occurrence, with only a few cases reported in the literature [2][3][4].Herein, we present a case of anterograde gastroduodenal intussusception after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
