Laura R Carucci et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 2007 Mar.

Abstract

As morbid obesity continues to increase in prevalence, bariatric surgery has become a popular treatment option. Radiologists must be aware of how to perform and interpret studies in this patient population. This article discusses the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure including the expected postoperative findings on upper gastrointestinal examinations and CT and the potential complications that may occur.
