Background: To assess the role of contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the assessment of symptomatic patients following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Results: We reviewed the studies of 129 cases and found complications in 113 patients: 55 early complications and 48 late complications. All of these complications were diagnosed with intravenous contrast-enhanced MDCT. Statistically significant difference was found between UGIS and MDCT in the diagnosis of many cases. Conclusion: The rate of complications in bariatric surgery is high and the associated mortality is not negligible. The interpreting radiologists should know the normal postoperative findings and be aware of possible complications.
