Abstract

The preferred technique in Denmark for surgical intervention for morbid obesity is laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. A rare complication to gastric bypass is intussusception of the small intestines. However, this diagnosis is difficult to determine clinically and an acute computed tomography is often necessary. We present the first case of retrograde jejunal intussusception after gastric bypass in Scandinavia.
