Intussusception After Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Intussusception after open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure (RYGBP) is a rare complication. We present a retrospective review of three cases of antegrade intussusception occurring after laparoscopic RYGBP. To our knowledge, these are the first documented cases of intussusception after laparoscopic RYGBP. We describe the clinical presentation and our management of these three cases. Furthermore, we believe that the initial clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and management of these patients may be different than those patients who have undergone an open RYGBP. With increasing popularity of laparoscopic RYGBP, we are likely to see more of this entity.
