abstract bowel obstruction is a known complication after bariatric surgery especially roux-en-y gastric bypass. the known etiologies include internal hernia, jejunojejunostomy stricture, ileus, intussusceptions, superior mesenteric artery syndrome, incarcerated port site hernia, and adhesions. blood clot is a rare cause of small intestinal obstruction after laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass...

BACKGROUND The positive impact of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on weight, comorbidities, and health-related quality of life is well documented. However, 50 percent of patients regain some of the lost weight after 2 years with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and present a mean weight regain of 10 to 15 percent after several years, partially losing the previously obtained benefits. The authors hypothesize t...

After a total resection of the stomach, the continuity of the gastrointestinal tract can be restored either by Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy with or without a pouch. There is still no consensus on the best reconstruction technique. The aim of this report was to derive a more precise estimation of Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy with a pouch compared with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy without a po...

Background: One of the most important post-operation problems encountered with Hepaticojejunostomy (Kasai operation) in patients with biliary atresia is cholangitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of anti-reflux valve in decreasing the incidence of cholangitis after hepaticojejunostomy. Methods: Ten dogs were randomly divided into two groups of equal size. In group A Roux-...

INTRODUCTION Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is increasingly performed in the United States. In addition, liver transplantation and other complex hepatobiliary surgeries are increasingly performed with creation of a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Consequently, endoscopists more frequently need to carry out endoscopic procedures in patients with Roux-en-Y anatomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present ar...

BACKGROUND Conventionally, an adult's standard of a 40-cm loop is adopted in Roux-Y hepatojejunostomy (RYHJ) in choledochal cyst (CDC) in children, irrespective of patient size. The redundant length of the jejunal limb may lead to complications. We compared the outcome of an individualized short Roux loop with the standard loop length in RYHJ in children with CDC. METHODS Two hundred eighteen...
