Abstract:
Laparoscopic gastric bypass is becoming a frequently performed bariatric operation for patients with obesity. However, bariatric surgery has inherent risks and complications, which are further potentiated by the high risk nature of bariatric patients. These complications can be either site specific i.e. anastomotic leaks, or systemic i.e. venous thromboembolism, however they can intimately related. We present the case of one patient undergoing routine gastric bypass complicated postoperatively by recurrent intra-abdominal collections and sepsis, and aortic thrombosis with distal embolisation.
