Successful laparoscopic repair of gastro-gastric fistula following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at Harlem Community Hospital

Abstract

Gastro-gastric fistula is a communication between the gastric remnant and gastric pouch. It is a rare complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It is caused by anastomotic leak, marginal ulcers, distal obstruction or erosion from foreign body. In this case report, we are presenting a successful laparoscopic repair of gastro-gastric fistula in a patient who presented with weight gain after initial loss.
