History

A 68-year-old patient was referred to our institution electively (OAGB/MGB). In 2016, he underwent a laparoscopic (OAGB/MGB) (preoperative body mass index (BMI) was 41). . 8-months later, he presented to us with sudden upper abdominal pain, normal blood tests.CT was done that revealed free peritoneal air . He underwent a laparoscopic omentopexy for perforated ulcer at the anterior wall of the anastomosis. 7-months later, he had slight abdominal pain and heartburn that were partially responding to proton pump inhibitors. Gastroscopy was done and revealed gastro-gastric fistula.

The patient BMI now is 27 static for 6 months.

 

Discussion

The incidence of long-term bile reflux after OAGB/MGB has been reported to range from 0.4 to 4% [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,].

Musella et al. and Carbajo and colleagues reported that all patients in their series were managed conservatively and none required surgical intervention for bile reflux [ 7, 8]. Other authors reported several patients requiring revisional surgeries for bile reflux. Noun and colleagues reported that 0.4% of their patients required conversion to RYGB for bile reflux while Bruzzi et al. reported a 1.6% conversion rate to RNY for bile reflux [5,].

Gastro-gastric fistula after primary MGB was never reported in the literature ,abdelrahman reported Gastro-gastric fistula after conversion operation from LASG to MGB

Conclusion

Gastro-gastric fistula is an unusual etiology of bile reflux after primary OAGB/MGB that was rarely reported in the literature.
