Abstract

The rising prevalence of obesity has led to a substantial investment in the advancement of treatment options for the disease and its comorbid conditions including lifestyle, pharmacologic, and procedural interventions. In this study, we describe a patient with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who was diagnosed with ischemic jejunitis on upper endoscopy because of the development of an internal hernia, a known late complication of bariatric surgery. This case highlights the diagnostic utility of endoscopy in postgastric bypass complications and the need for safer alternatives to surgery that have the potential to achieve significant weight loss such as bariatric endoscopic therapies.

Roux-en-Y胃旁路术的晚期并发症缺血性空肠炎。

肥胖患病率的上升导致了对该疾病及其合并症的治疗方案的大量投资，包括生活方式、药物和程序干预。在本研究中，我们描述了一位有Roux-en-Y胃旁路手术史的患者，由于腹疝的发展，在上内镜检查中被诊断为缺血性空肠炎，这是一种已知的减肥手术的晚期并发症。本病例强调了内镜在胃分流术后并发症中的诊断作用，以及需要更安全的替代手术，如减肥内镜治疗，这些手术有可能实现显著的体重减轻。
