Summary
Retrograde intussusception is a rare complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. This case highlights a potential long-term risk of this bariatric procedure.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Bariatric Surgery
- Surgical Complications
Background:
- Retrograde intussusception (RI) is an uncommon complication observed increasingly in adults following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery.
- The precise etiology of RI post-RYGB is not fully understood, with theories suggesting bowel dysmotility as a contributing factor.
- The rising prevalence of bariatric surgeries has led to a proportional increase in reported intussusception cases worldwide.
