Abstract:

Bowel obstruction is a known complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Bezoar is an unsual cause. We report a case of a 53 year-old female who developed small bowel obstruction secondary to a phytobezoar at the distal ileum one year after the patient underwent a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity. A computed tomography scan was a very useful method for making the diagnosis. The patient had successful minimally invasive surgical treatment.
