Case description

Kinking is a rare complication of sleeve gastrectomy, characterized by the organo-axial rotation of the stomach due to laxation of the greater curvature or adhesions, which moves inferior over the antrum. This condition can lead to symptoms such as bulging, dyspepsia, early satiety, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and rapid weight loss. Diagnosis is typically made through endoscopic and fluoroscopic imaging. Treatment options include endoscopic intervention and, in some cases, surgical revision, although endoscopic treatment has gained popularity due to its less invasive approach.
