Bile reflux after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: an unrecognized cause of postoperative pain

Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders in Obese Patients. The Importance of the Enrollment Source

“…The present study underlines the importance of the enrollment source to define the association between BMI and FGIDs. In fact, independently of the country of origin, previous studies associated BMI and organic or functional digestive disorders in cohort patients from different types of enrollment: functional disease recruitment [28], weight loss programs [29], bariatric surgery [20], endoscopic evaluation [27,30], or epidemiological studies [31,32]. In addition, some studies could include control groups [33] but did not separate obese patients according to their BMI [34].…”

Effects of experience and reference tools on laparoscopic length measurements

“…These lengths have important implications for the patient affecting postoperative weight loss, degree of malabsorption, and bile reflux. [1][2][3] Accurate length measurement is also important in judging adequate surgical margins in oncologic resection as well as management of patients with surgical complications of inflammatory bowel disease or patients who require small bowel resection in cases of obstruction. Despite its importance, the accuracy and precision of surgeons and surgeons-in-training in laparoscopic measurement are unknown.…”

Dysphagia Due to an Esophageal Polyp After Gastric Bypass

“…Bile gastritis is another known complication of gastric revisional surgery that has been associated with gastritis. 6 Originally seen in patients with a short alimentary limb, this sequela has been mostly resolved by lengthening the alimentary limb to at least 100 cm. The alimentary limb in our patient was measured to be ϳ150 cm during the surgery, reducing but not entirely eliminating, the risk of bile gastritis.…”
