Surgical management of obstructing clot at the jejunojejunostomy after gastric bypass: a single center experience and literature review.

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a proven treatment for morbid obesity and its sequelae. Gastric bypass has a safe risk profile, but postoperative complications can be seen. We report on 10 cases of postoperative bleeding causing an obstructing clot at the jejunojejunostomy (JJ) occurring over a 9-year period.
