Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in intestinal non-rotation

Mohammad Kermansaravi et al. Asian J Endosc Surg. 2021 Jul.

Abstract

There are some incidental findings during bariatric surgery. Some of these findings may make the operation more challenging than routine surgery. Intestinal malrotation/non-rotation are rare congenital anomalies that may remain asymptomatic until bariatric surgery. Here we report a 30-year-old female patient with unknown intestinal congenital anomaly which was diagnosed during surgery and she underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which can be a challenging procedure in intestinal malrotation/non-rotation and conversion may be needed.

Keywords: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; intestinal non-rotation; malrotation.
