One of the most serious complications after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a postoperative leak. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential due to potential secondary complications, such as sepsis, septic shock, and death. Less commonly known and rare complications include portal thrombosis and liver abscesses, which have been reported in only a few cases. Here, we present a patient who developed a leak, portal thrombosis, and concomitant liver abscesses, requiring both surgical and medical management, ultimately leading to a favorable outcome. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of these three concomitant complications in a patient in Mexico.

is a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium typically found in the oropharynx and respiratory tract of humans. It is responsible for various infections, including head-and-neck infections, pericarditis, and abscesses of the deltoid, perirenal tissue, brain, and liver. Increasing antibiotic resistance requires urgent identification of novel drug targets to fight this bacterium.
