Conversion of septate sleeve with chronic GG fistula to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: A case report

Abstract

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a common bariatric procedure with potential complications such as leaks and fistulas. We present a case of a chronic gastro-gastric (GG) fistula occurring nine years post-surgery, manifesting with chronic pain, food intolerance, and vomiting. Conversion to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass successfully addressed the issue. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing complications following sleeve gastrectomy.
