Abstract

Stricture of the gastrojejunostomy is a possible complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. We present the case of a patient with stricture refractory to endoscopic dilation. The patient underwent laparoscopic revision of the gastrojejunostomy with a hand-sewn anastomosis.

Keywords: Gastric bypass revision; Stricture; Ulcer.
