Portal vein thrombosis after laparoscopic gastric bypass

Jennifer L Denne et al. Obes Surg. 2005 Jun-Jul.

Abstract

Splanchnic vessel thrombosis has been described after several laparoscopic operations. However, this complication to date has not been reported after laparoscopic gastric bypass. We present and discuss a case of a patient who developed vague abdominal complaints 3 weeks after laparoscopic gastric bypass, and was diagnosed with portal venous thrombosis by computed tomography.
