Abstract
Given the increasing discussion about BPD-DS and its younger sibling the SADI as one of the options for weight regain after a sleeve gastrectomy, it’s very important to be aware of the potential short-term and long-term complications associated with these operations. Early complications include mortality, infectious complications (wound infections and anastomotic/staple line leaks), venous thromboembolism, bleeding, and early bowel obstruction. Long-term complications include internal hernias, GI malabsorptive symptoms, and nutritional deficiencies. We will briefly discuss these complications and their treatment options.
