Abstract:
The mini-gastric bypass (MGBP) is becoming an increasingly popular procedure worldwide. It is based on an "omega" reconstruction, resulting in a single anastomosis and in potential shortening of operative time. Internal hernia represents a potentially life-threatening complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, but it has not yet been reported after a mini-gastric bypass. We herein describe, for the first time, a case of internal hernia after this surgery.
