Gastrojejunal anastomotic stricture after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: ambulatory management with the Savary–Gilliard dilator

Background Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is currently one of the most frequently performed procedures for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. The success of this procedure’s restrictive component requires a small gastrojejunostomy (GJ), which occasionally results in stenosis. The treatment of choice for this complication is balloon dilation. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of ambulatory management for stenosis of the GJ using endoscopically guided Savary–Gilliard dilators.
