[Complications after gastric-bypass surgery for morbid obesity].
The use of conservative methods of treatment of obesity shows that decrease in body weight is accompanied by improvement of general condition, and a significant positive effect in essential types of metabolism, in particular, helps to reduce the frequency of diabetes type II and other components of the metabolic syndrome. However, to achieve sustained weight loss in patients with morbid obesity, using only conservative treatment is almost impossible. In connection with what clinicians have actively solve this issue, including the surgical treatment. Surgical treatment of obesity are shown in patients with third degree obesity (BMI > or = 40), when there is no result from long-term treatment diets and other therapeutic methods. Along with the positive effect that manifests itself in rapid weight loss, normalization of lipids and blood glucose, these interventions, particularly bypass, are characterized by specific complications, which can be fatal to patients. The most common of them, apart from surgical (anastomotic stenosis, infection, etc) are: malabsorption syndrome, and dumping syndrome. Exactly these complications are presented in the description of the case.
