Schematic showing a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. (Lina Wolf/WC)

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is procedure used to treat obesity.

General

  • Treatment for obesity.
  • Mortality ~0.15%.[1]
  • A segment of small bowel is excised as part of the procedure.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Normal small bowel wall.

Note:

Sign out

Small Bowel, Excision During Gastric Bypass:
     - Small bowel wall within normal limits. 
Small Bowel, Excision during Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass:
- Small bowel wall within normal limits. 

IELs present

Small Bowel, Excision during Gastric Bypass:
	- Small bowel wall with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, otherwise within normal limits, see comment.

Comment:
The increased intraepithelial lymphocytes are likely explained by obesity; however, other causes (such as infection, inflammatory bowel disease and celiac disease) should be considered within the clinical context.
