摘要: Background: After open or laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) for morbid obesity, the bypassed stomach and duodenum are not readily available radiological endoscopic evaluation. Furthermore, little is known about long-term physiologic histologic changes that occur in GI segments following these procedures. Many alternative techniques have been described to access distal pouch after RYGBP. Apart from percutaneous gastrografin® studies, all require insertion of a gastrostomy tube stomach. Methods: new diagnostic method by virtual CT gastroscopy (VG) was used 5 morbidly obese patients who underwent RYGBP (LRYGBP). Results: All tolerated procedure well, which appears safe suitable an outpatient setting.The images offered excellent intraluminal view duodenum. Conclusions: VG holds promise as choice follow-up LRYGB patients, having potential detect inflammatory cancer excluded early.
