The endoscopic inaccessibility of the gastric remnant after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) for morbid obesity represents an important issue for patients with familiar history of gastric cancer (GC) or affected by premalignant lesions, such as intestinal metaplasia. If a different bariatric procedure is contraindicated, RYGBP with remnant gastrectomy represents a reasonable alternative, significantly reducing the risk of GC but potentially increasing postoperative morbidity. For this reason, only few cases have been reported in the recent Literature and none regarding a super-super obese patient. We present the case of a 55-year-old super-super obese man with a family history of GC and antral gastritis with extensive intestinal metaplasia at preoperative upper endoscopy, who underwent laparoscopic RYGBP with remnant gastrectomy.

Abstract

The endoscopic inaccessibility of the gastric remnant after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) for morbid obesity represents an important issue for patients with familiar history of gastric cancer (GC) or affected by premalignant lesions, such as intestinal metaplasia. If a different bariatric procedure is contraindicated, RYGBP with remnant gastrectomy represents a reasonable alternative, significantly reducing the risk of GC but potentially increasing postoperative morbidity. For this reason, only few cases have been reported in the recent Literature and none regarding a super-super obese patient. We present the case of a 55-year-old super-super obese man with a family history of GC and antral gastritis with extensive intestinal metaplasia at preoperative upper endoscopy, who underwent laparoscopic RYGBP with remnant gastrectomy.
