Abstract
Bariatric surgery has emerged recently as an ideal therapeutic strategy, especially in morbid obesity, when medical therapy based mainly on diet fails. Two surgical methods are used for achieving weight loss in obese patients: bypass procedures in which mal-absorption is achieved by bypassing segments of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and restrictive procedures in which stomach volume is reduced to induce early satiety. Proponents of bariatric surgery have instead promoted different types of restrictive procedures (combined with a bypass element sometimes) to induce weight reduction, including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. SG complications include leak/abscess, hemorrhage, splenic injury, and Porto-mesenteric occlusion. RYGB complications include leak/abscess, gastro-gastric fistula, small bowel obstruction, internal hernia, and intussusception. Although GB is waning in popularity, radiologists continue to see the legacy of these patients and complications include gastric prolapse, band erosion, and port/tubing mechanical failures. AIM OF THE WORK: The aim of this study was to assess the role of multi-detector CT in early detection and management of complications after bariatric surgeries.
