Laparoscopic Revision of an Enlarged Gastric Outlet After Gastric Bypass

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Morbid Obesity

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine if laparoscopic plication of a gastrojejunostomy is an effective surgical option for the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patient who has regained weight due to a dilated gastric stoma. There are several reasons postulated to be the cause in patients who regain their weight after gastric bypass, including poor diet choices, dilation of the gastric pouch and enlargement of the gastric stoma. We aim to demonstrate that laparoscopic plication of the enlarge gastrojejunostomy can provide a safe and effective method to promote increased weight loss in this subset of gastric bypass patients.
