Article Synopsis
- Drain inclusion in the gastric pouch post-laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is rare but can lead to serious complications, often making traditional surgical options ineffective.
- Four morbidly obese patients experienced gastro-jejunal fistulas after surgery, where endoscopic intervention successfully removed the drain from the gastric pouch, resulting in significant healing of the fistulas.
- The study concludes that endoscopic management is a viable, less invasive alternative to surgery for chronic fistulas, emphasizing proper drain placement to avoid complications.
