Description
Caroline Roberts, Meghan Mansour, Emmanuel Nageeb, and Kevin Krause report a 2024 surgical case of a twisted leftover stomach after bypass surgery. Only two such cases had been reported before, and none after a sleeve operation was converted to a bypass. Their patient was a woman of thirty two. The leftover stomach, left in place during bypass, had twisted on itself.
Past cases were handled by tacking the stomach down or removing it. Anatomy ruled out tacking here, so the remnant was removed. The authors note that management is still unsettled because the condition is so rare. Surgery, though, is likely needed when it occurs. As sleeve to bypass conversions grow more common, they call for more study to build proper guidelines.
