Predictors of G-J Stricture after Gastric Bypass
Takata, et al. Obesity Surgery, 2007; 17:878-884.
At the multivariate level, only the use of a
21-mm circular stapler was identified as
an independent predictor of a GJ stricture:
(odds ratio 11.3; 95% CI 2.2-57.3, P=0.004).

In our series, the rate of bleeding complications w as similar for laparoscopic and open cases (2.1% vs .4%,respective ly, P=.69)
The main potential sources of bleeding are:
1. Intraluminal : G-J, J-J, and gastric remnant staple lines
2. Intraperitoneal : Mesenteric staple line and dissection planes.
3. Abdominal Wall: Trocar insertion sites

Bleeding after GBP – How to treat?
• While bleeding from the GJ may manifest as hematemesis and permit endoscopic intervention,
bleeding from the other sources may pose a diagnost ic and treatment challenge .
• The decision to transfuse , use therapeutic endoscopy or re-operation is based on a combination
of clinical factors and local experience .
• Post-operative protocols should actively pursue this diagnosis

Gastrointestinal Fistula / Leak after GBP: Literature
* Anatomotic leaks - 0.8 to 7%
* Suggested to be the most common preventable
cause of deathafter pulmonary embolism
* Leak-associated mortality ranging from 6% to 17%.

ConclusionsConclusionsWith the benefit of superior weight loss , greater resolution of type 2 DM , and similar rate of complications (and possibly lower rate of re-operations) , Lap Gastric Bypass may have a similar or lower risk-benefit ratio compared to Lap Band.
This information should be available when informing patients about surgical options available to treat morbid obesity.
