Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Reversal for Chronic Nausea and Vomiting using the Side-to-Side Anastomosis

Around 25% of the patients that had undergone a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery will eventually fail due to insufficient weight loss or weight recidivism or complications related to the procedure [1, 2]. The reported incidence of anastomotic complications following RYGB ranges from 0.1 to 23% [3]. The patients that experience an anastomotic complication would require an intervention. If the intervention fails, the patient would require either a reversal or conversion to other bariatric procedure [1, 4-6].
