- Title
Stomal Disruption in Gastric Partition in Morbid Obesity (Comparison of Radiographic and Endoscopic Diagnosis).
- Authors
Messmer, James M.; Wolper, James C.; Sugerman, Harvey J.
- Abstract
Twenty-two patients who had gastric partition surgery for morbid obesity and subsequently developed stomal dilatation were evaluated with both upper gastrointestinal barium examinations and upper endoscopy. Both examinations were positive in eight patients. Endoscopy alone was positive in 14, but retrospective view of the upper gastrointestinal series was positive in nine of the patients. The authors stress the importance of a dedicated radiologist in performing these difficult examinations and the need for specific measurements of the stomal diameter.
