    Background: Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has become the most common surgical treatment for morbid obesity. Intestinal obstruction and internal hernias are cornplications more commonly observed after LRYGB than after open RYGB. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of these cornplications in patients who had undergone LRYGB using an antecolic versus a retrocolic technique.
