Duodenal Diverticulitis Following Biliopancreatic Diversion: A Case Report.

Duodenal diverticulitis is a relatively uncommon finding in patients. Treatment of complications of duodenal diverticulitis may be challenging in patients with altered intestinal anatomy such as those with altered anatomy from weight loss procedures involving intestinal bypass. We present a case report describing the management of duodenal diverticulitis following a biliopancreatic diversion, our decision-making process, and our final treatment strategy.

Laparoscopic Conversion of Single-Anastomosis Duodenal Switch (SADI-S) to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass With Concurrent Paraesophageal Hernia Repair for Refractory Biliary Reflux and Paraesophageal Hernia.

Single-anastomosis duodenal switch (SADI-S) is effective for weight loss with low reported rates of complications. Bile reflux into the stomach or esophagus is an uncommonly reported complication but can lead to significant symptoms for patients suffering from this complication. Concurrent paraesophageal hernia can exacerbate the symptoms of biliary reflux gastritis. We present a case report describing the management of biliary reflux gastritis with concurrent paraesophageal hernia, our decision-making process, and technical pearls and possible pitfalls.
