Description
Sumra Irum and co-authors present a 2026 case report of bowel telescoping backward after weight-loss bypass surgery. Backward jejunal intussusception is a rare late problem after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and its vague signs overlap with other post-surgery ills. Contrast CT plays the central role in spotting its shape, level, and threat to bowel health.
The patient developed a high-grade small bowel blockage several years after bypass. Imaging showed the backward slide at the bowel join, a known weak point where gut motion changes after surgery. Scan findings shaped the surgical plan. The authors urge early CT when bypass patients show blockage signs, since delays risk bowel damage.
