Obstruction of defunctionalized loop ten years after jejunoileal bypass for morbid obesity.
We have reported a case of obstruction due to volvulus of the ileosigmoid anastomosis ten years after jejunoileal bypass. Revision of the ileosigmoid anastomosis with drainage of the defunctionalized limb into the cecum relieved the obstruction.
