    Gastric cancer after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
    (2005) Escalona, A; Guzmán, S; Ibáñez, L; Meneses, L; Huete, A; Solar, A
    Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures for morbid obesity. Several complications that may develop in the short- and long-term have been reported. We present a patient who presented with cancer in the bypassed stomach 8 years after RYGBP. Although the development of this lesion is rare and only a few cases have been reported, there are aspects worthy of discussion. Several monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives are analyzed.

    Wernicke's encephalopathy after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
    (2004) Escalona, A; Pérez, G; León, F; Volaric, C; Mellado, P; Ibáñez, L
    Complications of bariatric operations include the development of nutritional deficiencies. If protracted vomiting is added, severe vitamin depletion could arise such as thiamine deficiency, resulting in the development of Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE). This article describes the rapid onset of WE in a 6-week postoperative morbidly obese woman. Because the occurrence of micronutrient deficiencies is infrequent, although reports are increasing, symptoms may be misdiagnosed leading to possible irreversible effects on the central nervous system. The importance of a prompt diagnosis of this serious complication and of adequate therapy is emphasized.
