Kinking; A Rare Complication of Sleeve Gastrectomy
Abstract
Aim: Our aim was to emphasize an uncommon complication of
sleeve gastrectomy.
Material and Method: Sixty-two morbidly obese patients underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. All patients were required
to have psychological, routine laboratory examination, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, pulmonary function studies and a medical
evaluation. All patients were preoperatively evaluated by a dietician. The procedure was performed by a standard technique.
Results: A total of 62 patients (43 females, 19 males) underwent
laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Four of the 62 patients (1 male,
3 female) were admitted with a complaint of nausea, vomiting
and liquid intolerans 7 to 10 days after discharge. Upper gastrointestinal contrast swallov study revealed “Kinking”of the remnant
stomach.
Conclusion: Kinking is a complication to be known and rather
than management, prevention of this complication must be supplied by further efforts.
