Rare case of concurrent intussusception and volvulus after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity

Gastric bypass patients are at risk for small-bowel obstruction secondary to adhesions, internal hernias, intussusception and volvulus. Most gastric bypass patients do not present with classic obstructive symptoms. We present a rare case of concurrent intussusception and volvulus in a woman with previous history of internal hernia following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

Increased gastric cytokine production after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity.

HYPOTHESIS Mucosal cytokines may be involved in the process of gastric bacterial contamination that may occur after Roux-en-Y bypass for morbid obesity in both gastric chambers, with inflammation and gastritis mostly in the excluded stomach. DESIGN A prospective observational study in a homogeneous population with nonspecific complaints. SETTING Outpatient clinic of a large, public, academi...
