Abstract

Adult Anastomosis, Surgical - methods Avitaminosis - etiology Avitaminosis - surgery Female Gastric Bypass - adverse effects Humans Malnutrition - etiology Malnutrition - surgery Operative Time Reoperation - methods
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is recently the second most frequent operation worldwide and is only preceded by sleeve gastrectomy. We present an alternative technique of reversal of RYGB. There is no need to dissect or resect the gastrojejunal anastomosis. This dissection might be difficult as the gastrojejunal anastomosis might be adherent to the residual stomach. The 2 anastomoses performed are technically easy and done on healthy non-inflammatory tissue.
