List of Bariatric Complications
Leakage: Leakage can occur from technical, mechanical, or ischemic issues after surgery when fluid leaks out of the staple line.[1] 40% of all complications are short-term leak problems. These are almost always fixed before the patients leave the hospital during post-op testing.
Obstruction/Blockage: Obstruction occurs when food, bile, or liquids passing through the small intestine get blocked from passage. The blood supply to the small intestine decreases.
Bleeding: Internal bleeding is bleeding inside the body and can occur in tissues or organs. Outer bleeding can occur with skin separation from band slippage.
Blood Clots: The healing process can increase blood clotting in the arms or legs. Fatal blood clots in bariatric surgery patients are less than 1%
Internal or wound infection: Internal or wound infection includes any type of internal or external body parts that get infected due to the surgical operation.
Perforation of stomach or intestines: This occurs when there is a complete injury to the wall of the stomach or intestines.
