Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a bariatric surgical procedure commonly performed in adults to treat severe obesity.

We report a case of intussusception in a 74-year-old female patient who underwent RYGB 12 years prior.

Cholecystoenteric fistulas are a rare complication of chronic gallstone disease. If not diagnosed on time, they can cause several complications such as gallstone ileus, gastric outlet obstruction (Bouveret syndrome), cholangitis, or liver abscess. We present a case of a patient with chronic calculous cholecystitis, who was admitted due to unspecific abdominal discomfort and impaired liver function with increased cholestatic liver enzymes.
