Abstract:
Sleeve gastrectomy is a common bariatric procedure known for its safety and effectiveness, but postoperative complications like abscess formation, though rare, can occur. We report the case of a 37-year-old female who presented with atypical abdominal pain following a sleeve gastrectomy. Imaging revealed an abscess located away from the staple line. Surgical exploration and culture identified Streptococcus anginosus as the causative organism. This case emphasizes the importance of vigilant postoperative monitoring and early intervention to prevent complications. Proper management, including antibiotics and surgical drainage, is crucial for patient recovery.
