Endoscopy in Gastric Twist after Sleeve Gastrectomy
Case description
Endoscopy plays a crucial role in managing gastric twist after sleeve gastrectomy. Gastric twist is a rare but serious complication that can occur after this procedure, leading to symptoms such as obstruction. Endoscopic stent insertion has been shown to be highly effective in managing gastric twist, with a success rate of 91%.
The timing of endoscopic intervention is typically around 40 days post-surgery, and it is recommended to try endoscopic treatment before considering further surgical options. Studies indicate that endoscopic stenting is an effective tool for managing the twisting of the gastric pouch, with a high success rate in relieving symptoms and correcting the gastric pouch axis.
