Abstract
10-40% of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients regain significant weight after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery due to dilation of the pouch and/or the gastrojejunal (GJ) anastomosis. Traditional revision surgery is associated with significant morbidity (e.g. post-anastomotic GJ leak) where less invasive endoluminal procedures may represent safer alternatives. The present article reports a case of the safe and successful use of endoluminal gastric pouch plication (EGPP) using the StomaphyX™ device to correct both a dilated gastric pouch and a dilated gastrojejunostomy in a post-RYGB patient who regained significant weight.
