Abstract

Background: Inaccessibilility of the excluded stomach after isolated gastric bypass prevents postoperative evaluation and treatment of disorders of the gastric remnant. Bleeding complications, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric malignancy in the gastric remnant have all been reported. We report a patient with morbid obesity and focal intestinal metaplasia in the antrum of the stomach that was treated with laparoscopic Roux-en-y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) with remnant gastrectomy. Case Report: A 46-year-old female with a long history of morbid obesity presented with a BMI of 47 kg/m². Preoperative upper endoscopy revealed focal intestinal metaplasia. Since intestinal metaplasia is a risk factor for gastric cancer, a LRYGBP with remnant gastrectomy was performed. Conclusions: LRYGBP with remnant gastrectomy is a safe and cost-effective treatment for morbidly obese patients with focal intestinal metaplasia of the stomach.
