-
Rationale for inclusion: A Prospective study for the management of cholelithiasis in bariatric patients. Cholelithiasis one of the most common complications after bariatric surgery, commonly seen by EGS surgeons. Low percentage actually require surgery so if diagnosed conservative management appropriate.

- Obes Surg. 2016 Feb;26(2):345-9.
-
Rationale for inclusion: Recent study evaluating early 30 day reoperations due to complications after LRYGB. Included bleeding, obstruction or leak. These complications may present to the acute care surgeon on call requiring intervention.

- Obes Surg. 2015 Nov;25(11):2106-11.
-
Rationale for inclusion: This is an important study looking at a complication that is common and often presents years after weight loss surgery which acute care surgeons may be faced with managing. Internal hernia is a potentially fatal complication and CT findings arent always positive. Time is critical and diagnostic laparoscopy gold standard. If no bariatric surgeon avaialble acute care surgeon needs to intervene.

-
Rationale for inclusion: This study looked specifically at postoperative GI bleeding (GIB)v in bariatric surgery. GIB is a complication seen and may need intervention. Endoscopic techniques are often adequate and necessary.

- Surg Obes Relat Dis. 2014 Jul-Aug;10(4):666-70.
-
Rationale for inclusion: This is a 10-year review of patients presenting with intussusception after RYGB. This is a rare but serious complication. Often presents with upper abdominal pain, can be mistaken for other surgical processes. Requires surgical intervention to avoid bowel necrosis. Acute care surgeons need to be aware in order to manage timely.

-
Rationale for inclusion: This study is one of the few looking at the very rare but serious complication of portmesenteric venous thrombosis (PSMV) thrombosis. It often presents as abdominal pain, may require exploration for bowel necrosis/splenectomy and may need to be managed by an acute care surgeon.

-
Rationale for inclusion: Another study demonstrating the common presentation after bariatric surgery of complicated cholelithiasis. This often requires surgery and can be technically difficult postop and may warrant early cholecystectomy. The oncall acute care surgeon will often see and need to manage these patients.

- Martin MJ, Beekley AC, Sebesta JA.
- Surg Obes Relat Dis. 2011 May-Jun;7(3):263-9.
-
Rationale for inclusion: A very large comparison of bowel obstruction in bariatric versus nonbariatric patients was analyzed. The majority of postbaratric patients required surgery whereas the majority of nonbariatric were managed conservatively. This demonstrates that the importance of understanding the differences in this common complication between groups.
