The patients were in post-bariatric surgical follow-up and were operated in the same hospital. We excluded patients who had undergone bariatric surgery by other surgical techniques, operated by another surgical team and the ones who did not agree with the administration of oral or intravenous iodinated contrast media and exceeding the weight limit of the examination table. Results Results ResultsResults Results: The patients were aged from 23 to 70 years, 11 male and 29 female. There were no extra-abdominal changes, and 30 of the 40 patients had CT findings within normal limits. The presence of stenosis at the gastrojejunal anastomosis was found in one patient, internal hernias occurred in five, anastomotic leak in one and the presence of abscess occurred in three of patients. ConclusionConclusion Conclusion Conclusion Conclusion: Total abdominal CT failed to inform the cause of the symptoms in 87.5% of patients seeking medical re-evaluation for symptoms of post-operative bariatric surgery. Due to the need for more effective intervention in the clinical management of severe obesity, the indications for bariatric operations have been growing 5 . The surgical treatment for severe obesity has been employed for nearly half a century. It began in the 1950s with operations that caused malabsorption, abandoned in the late 1970s due to their serious side effects. From then on, procedures that limit food intake began to dominate, either by simply restricting the capacity of the stomach, or by its division and anastomosis to the proximal jejunum 6 . Among the surgical techniques currently considered for treatment of morbid obesity, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is widely used 2,6,7 . With the increase in the frequency of bariatric operations, it is necessary that the radiologist must be aware The postoperative radiological study, the survey of complications an...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
