Long-term complications leading to reoperation after primary bariatric surgery are not uncommon. Reoperations are particularly challenging because of tissue scarring and adhesions related to the first operation. Reoperations must address the complication(s) related to the scarring and, at the same time, prevent weight regain that would inevitably occur after simple reversal. Conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) has repeatedly been demonstrated to be the procedure of choice in most situations. It has traditionally been performed through an open approach. Our aim is to describe our experience with the laparoscopic approach in reoperations to RYGBP over the past 5 years.
