Laparoscopic revision of the gastrojejunostomy for recurrent bleeding ulcers after past open revision gastric bypass.
Late complications of open gastric bypass can include malnutrition, weight gain, stomal stenosis, and recurrent bleeding ulcers. Herein, we describe the case of a woman who had recurrent bleeding ulcers, after an open revision of a stenotic gastric bypass. She now underwent an uneventful laparoscopic revision of her gastrojejunostomy and was discharged within 72 hours. Laparoscopic revision of a gastrojejunostomy, even after an open revision following an open gastric bypass, can be done safely.
