Laparoscopic Management of Stomach Sleeve Obstruction after Sleeve Gastrectomy

Abstract

Introduction: Stomach sleeve obstruction can occur after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). It results in absolute intolerance to liquid and food intake. The obstruction of sleeve may be because of stomach torsion, twisting, kinking, folding, adhesions, and stenosis/narrowing.We present a case report of two patients with absolute intolerance to liquid intake because of sleeve obstruction. The reason for obstruction was folding, twisting, and partial torsion of the stomach sleeve after SG.
