Abstract

Gastric bypass patients are at risk of late procedure-related complications, e.g. internal hernia or cholecystolithiasis. These complications may be important to identify before other surgical procedures are performed. The treatment of cholecystitis based on cholecystolithiasis in a patient who had recently undergone abdominoplasty may be highly problematic and may lead to an exacerbated situation.
