Stapling of orogastric tube during gastrojejunal anastomosis: An unusual complication after conversion of sleeve gastrectomy to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

摘要

The number of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) cases performed annually in the United States has significantly increased. With the increased number of laparoscopic cases in bariatric surgery, LRYGB has become one of the most technically demanding operations performed in minimally invasive surgery [1],This procedure is associated with a significant learning curve and, even in expert hands, can be associated with complications. Stapling of the orogastric tube during the performance of gastrojejunal anastomosis is an unusual and dreaded complication in bariatric surgery [2].Surgeons should maximize their awareness and prevent this complication.
