Perforation of the excluded segment without pneumoperitoneum following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery: case report and literature review.

Conclusions: Perforations of the excluded segment in RYGB patients are rare and represent a diagnostic challenge, as pneumoperitoneum is usually absent and the excluded segment is difficult to access. Despite negative diagnostic findings, laparoscopic exploration should always be considered. PMID: 31333071 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
