Abstract

Sleeve gastrectomy is a popular surgical procedure for weight loss. Although it is basically a safe surgery; however, it can lead to serious complications such as intestinal obstruction. The present report describes a 55-year-old woman who attended with complications of abdominal pain and vomiting that underwent laparoscopic exploratory intervention and ileum obstruction due to adherent bands of the appendix was considered as final diagnosis.
