Midgut malrotation encountered during laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass.
Unexpected midgut malrotation (MM) was encountered during laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for obesity. This procedure, being performed for the first time within our trust, was completed nonetheless without any postoperative complications. MM is a rare condition in adults, with a comprehensive literature review finding a paucity of reports of MM during bariatric procedures.
