Anatomical Basis for the Low Incidence of Internal Hernia After a Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Without Mesenteric Closure
2013
Background
Different techniques have been designed to reduce the rate of internal hernia (IH) after laparoscopic bariatric surgery, and mesenteric closure is possibly the most controversial. We propose a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) procedure without mesenteric closure with several specific technical details to avoid IH. To support this view, we have reviewed the outcome of our LRYGB patients and have carried out an anatomical study on cadavers.
