- Title
Gastroduodenal Intussusception of Remnant Stomach After Gastric Bypass: a Case Report.
- Authors
March, Brayden; Whiting, Scott; Karihaloo, Costa
- Abstract
Intestinal intussusception is a rare long-term complication after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) surgery that can result in a small-bowel obstruction. In our case, the initial gastric plication which invaginated the greater curvature of the stomach may have created a lead point which predisposed the stomach to intussusception after it was divided during the revisional RYGBP surgery. The patient presented with unexplained iron deficiency anaemia in the setting of known marginal ulcers and a CT demonstrating antegrade intussusception of the remnant stomach.
