An extremely late complication of a Roux-en-Y jejuno-ileal bypass.
We report the case of a patient who underwent an open Roux-en-Y jejuno-ileal bypass for morbid obesity in February 1976. Having enjoyed a normal and stable body mass index for 30 years, she presented acutely with an intussusception of the blind limb.
