Intestinal malrotation is typically encountered in the first year of life and is rarely seen in adult populations. Herein, we present the case of a 48-year-old woman with a surgical history of laparoscopic Nissen-sleeve gastrectomy before 11 months who was referred to the general surgery service after presenting to the emergency department with acute epigastric abdominal pain for one-day duration. Radiography and a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed a large pneumoperitoneum. Subsequently, a diagnostic laparoscopy was performed, which detected a sealed perforation in the fundus of the wrapped-sleeved stomach, along with an incidental finding of intestinal malrotation. The encountered variation of anatomy created an intraoperative challenge during the conversion from Nissen-Sleeve gastrectomy to single anastomosis gastric bypass. The diagnosis of intestinal malrotation in adults is often overlooked, posing substantial diagnostic and management challenges when encountered.

Background: Nissen sleeve gastrectomy is a new bariatric procedure based on the combination of 2 well-known surgical techniques (vertical sleeve gastrectomy and Nissen fundoplication). It was conceived as a means to prevent the major drawback of the sleeve gastrectomy (SG), the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), while preserving the advantages of SG in terms of weight loss, and remission of obesity-related comorbidities.
Objectives: The objectives of this study are to present the long-term (5 years) follow-up results on weight loss, evolution of GERD and other comorbidities, and the complication rate of the Nissen sleeve gastrectomy.
Comparative analysis of readmission rates and outcomes: Sleeve gastrectomy with versus without Nissen fundoplication using a National Database.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) would be the procedure of choice for non-responders of weight loss and patients with reflux symptoms (GERD). However, not every patient is a candidate for RYGB, and sometimes, the patient can insist only on alternatives other than malabsorption procedures, as was the case with our patient. We report a case with symptomatic GERD who underwent a successful Nissen sleeve gastrectomy after band removal.
