Introduction. We describe a case of gastrojejunal anastomosis perforation after gastric bypass on a patient with underlying pancreatic cancer.Case Description. A 54-year-old female with past surgical history of gastric bypass for morbid obesity and recent diagnosis of unresectable pancreatic cancer presents with abdominal pain, peritonitis, and sepsis. Computerized axial tomography scan shows large amount of intraperitoneal free air. The gastric remnant is markedly distended and a large pancreatic head mass is seen. Intraoperative findings were consistent with a perforated ulcer located at the gastrojejunal anastomosis and a distended gastric remnant caused by a pancreatic mass invading and obstructing the second portion of the duodenum. The gastrojejunal perforation was repaired using an omental patch. A gastrostomy for decompression of the remnant was also performed. The patient had a satisfactory postoperative period and was discharged on day 7.Discussion. Perforation of the gastrojejunal anastomosis after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is an unusual complication. There is no correlation between the perforation and the presence of pancreatic cancer. They represent two different conditions that coexisted. The presence of a gastrojejunal perforation made the surgeon aware of the advanced stage of the pancreatic cancer.

Zusammenfassung. Zusammenfassung: Bei steigender Prävalenz der Adipositas und der damit assoziierten Komorbiditäten rückt die bariatrische und metabole Chirurgie immer mehr in den Vordergrund, wobei weltweit der Roux-Y-Magenbypass (= Roux-en-Y ­Gastric- Bypass, RYGB) und der Schlauchmagen (= Sleeve gastrectomy, SG) die häufigsten Eingriffe darstellen. Der erzielte Gewichtsverlust und das veränderte Essverhalten scheinen dabei nicht wie initial vermutet ausschliesslich auf einer ­mechanischen Restriktion der Nahrungspassage und / oder einer kalorischen Malabsorption der aufgenommenen Nahrung zu beruhen, sondern vielmehr auf ein komplexes Zusammenspiel verschiedenster physiologischer Wirkmechanismen zurückführbar zu sein. Ziel des vorliegenden Artikels ist es deshalb, vor dem Hintergrund des aktuellen Wissenstandes einen kurzen Überblick über die wichtigsten Wirkmechanismen der bariatrischen und metabolen Chirurgie zu liefern.
