Complications of Roux-En-O Gastric Bypass

Roux-en-O anatomy after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a rare and potentially devastating complication that can be frequently misdiagnosed 1,2. Generally, the biliopancreatic limb is inadvertently anastomosed to the gastric pouch and patients may present as a partial small bowel obstruction with most frequent complaint of abdominal pain, nausea, and bilious emesis. Radiologic studies and even surgical exploration may misdiagnose this atypical complication3,4.
