title: [Internal hernia as a complication to laparoscopic gastric bypass].
abstract: Internal hernia is a well-known complication after gastric bypass surgery. However, the diagnosis relies on a high degree of clinical suspicion and a low threshold for diagnostic laparoscopy as the results from clinical and radiological examination may be non-specific. We present two cases of internal herniation 24 months postoperatively with very different outcomes.
