Highlights
- •Sleeve gastrectomy is an effective weight loss surgery.
- •UGI series is generally performed soon after surgery to detect a leak.
- •Extraluminal contrast may be seen in a track, collection, drain or in the peritoneum.
- •CT is useful to detect leak, hemorrhage, splenic injury, abscess, and thromboembolism.
- •Focal strictures may be treated endoscopically, but long ones may require surgery.
Abstract
Obesity has become an epidemic in the United States, and bariatric surgery is being
increasingly performed for its management. There has been an increased number of laparoscopic
sleeve gastrectomies performed for the treatment of morbid obesity due to its efficacy
and lower complication rate compared to other bariatric surgical techniques. The authors
discuss the surgical technique, review the imaging of normal and complicated sleeve
gastrectomy, and highlight radiographic pitfalls.
