Abstract:
Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications. With the growing incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, the number of hospitals performing bariatric surgery and surgical cases increase substantially. The problems in operation standardization, quality control of operation and postoperative management of the patients cause the failure in weight loss, hypoglycemia and severe complications, and revisional surgery is often required to correct the condition. We report a case of laparoscopic revisional surgery following nonstandard gastric bypass, and the reasons for failure of weight loss in first bariatric surgery, the current situation of bariatric surgery and revisional metabolic surgery were analyzed. This case demonstrates the clinical necessity of revisonal bariatric surgery and the importance of selection of the surgical approaches and indications.
