Conclusion

As the obesity epidemic persists, the number and variety of surgical interventions continue to increase. As a result, GI complications are being seen with greater frequency, and clinicians must be well informed about the endoscopic management of the postbariatric surgery patient. Additionally, the development of new endoscopic devices, such as advanced suturing systems and biological agents, will likely broaden endoscopic applications, thereby reducing the need for surgical revision. These new

      Citation Excerpt :

      Patients with Gastro-Gastric Fistula may be asymptomatic and may present with nonspecific symptoms such as weight regain, epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, sometimes anemia as in our case, and even bleeding [2–5]. An upper endoscopy and upper GI contrast study should be performed to confirm diagnosis [8]. Management of Gastro-Gastric Fistulas depends on the symptoms, size, location and its classification (according to Ribeiro-Parenti et al. type I or II) [9].

      Late marginal ulcers 12–48 month after RYBG are reported in a small proportion (1%) of patients [83]. Marginal ulcers develop in 0.6–16% [84]. Csendes et al described the findings on routine endoscopy after RYGB operations and found at 1 month following surgery marginal ulcers in 4.1% of patients after open and 12.3% after laparoscopic surgery, with 28% of ulcers occurring in the absence of symptoms [18].

      Stomal stenosis is present if the standard 9.5-mm endoscope cannot traverse the anastomosis. Treatment of stomal stenosis can be performed with a through-the-scope balloon, Savary dilator, or electrosurgical incision.53–55 Balloon dilation is the most commonly used technique and is successful in more than 90% of cases.
