Late complication of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Marginal ulcer perforation

Abstract

In recent years, morbid obesity has tended to increase as a human problem. Surgical options are used in cases where medical treatments are not a solution. One of the surgical options is Roux en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). RYGB is more effective than other surgical options and is one of the most frequently preferred methods (1,2). We present a female patient who presented to our emergency department with marginal ulcer perforation 1 year after RYGB.
