The patient was a 46 year-old female who presented to the emergency room with a sudden severe abdominal pain as well as nausea and vomiting that began the day before after a meal. She is 3 years post retrocolic RYGBP. On examination, the patient was well nourished, afebrile, and with normal vital signs. She was in moderate distress with pain out of proportion to the physical examination. Her abdomen was soft, and there were no signs of peritoneal irritation or distension. Laboratory data were unremarkable. Computed tomography scan revealed a long segment obstructive retrograde small bowel intussusception adjacent to the jejuno-jejunal anastamosis and associated with complete proximal small bowel obestruction. The patient was immediately taken to the operating room.
