S054: incidence and management of jejunojejunal intussusception after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a large case series

ConclusionsThis is the largest case series describing jejunojejunal intussusception following RYGBP. All patients that developed intussusception had jejunojejunostomy length greater than 60  mm. The most commonly performed surgical repair was reduction of the intussuscepted segment (if present) followed by enteropexy. Jejunojejunostomy length greater than 60 mm might be associated with the occurrence of intussusception and could explain the higher incidence noted in our series. Minim al intervention with enteropexy can offer effective treatment for most patients.
