Abstract
Since its first description by Dr. Allan Wittgrove et al. (1) in 1994, the technique of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has undergone a number of modifications. In the original description, the gastrojejunostomy was created with a 21-mm circular stapler, with the anvil introduced transorally. While there were no esophageal injuries in the first 1400 patients (2), there has been some concern about esophageal injuries and a reported higher incidence of gastrojejunal anastomotic strictures (3).
