  • Title: Laparoscopic revision of the gastrojejunostomy for recurrent bleeding ulcers after past open revision gastric bypass.
    Author: Madan AK, DeArmond G, Ternovits CA, Beech DJ, Tichansky DS.
    Journal: Obes Surg; 2006 Dec; 16(12):1662-8. PubMed ID: 17217644.
    Abstract:
    Late complications of open gastric bypass can include malnutrition, weight gain, stomal stenosis, and recurrent bleeding ulcers. Herein, we describe the case of a woman who had recurrent bleeding ulcers, after an open revision of a stenotic gastric bypass. She now underwent an uneventful laparoscopic revision of her gastrojejunostomy and was discharged within 72 hours. Laparoscopic revision of a gastrojejunostomy, even after an open revision following an open gastric bypass, can be done safely.
