Imaging of Bariatric Surgery: Normal Anatomy and Postoperative Complications Journal Club March 2014 Daniel Oppenheimer, M.D. Marc S. Levine, MD and Laura R. Carucci, MD Radiology: Volume 270: Number 2—February 2014
2
Goals Describe the surgical anatomy and normal imaging findings for three major forms of bariatric surgery Identify the major complications of these forms of bariatric surgery and their relevant clinical features. Discuss the imaging findings of bariatric surgery complications on UGI and CT exams
3
Introduction BMI (kg/m2) –25-29 kg/m2 = overweight –30-35 kg/m2 = obesity –35+ = morbid obesity Obesity Epidemic –USA Adults 2004: 66% overweight, 32% Obese 300,000+ deaths annually –2 nd only to tobacco in preventable deaths Bariatric Surgery increasing dramatically –5x # procedures in 2003 vs. 1998
4
Bariatric Surgery Concepts Restrictive procedure –Decrease gastric volume early satiety –Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and laparascopic sleeve gastrectomy Bypass procedure –Intentional malabsorption
5
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Most popular procedure in the USA –Highest long-term success and greater weight loss –Malabsorptive and Restrictive Stomach divided –Small gastric pouch – restrictive effect –Larger excluded stomach Jejunum divided –Roux (efferent) limb anastomosed to gastric pouch proximally and jejunojejunostomy distally –Biliopancreatic (afferent) limb anastomosed to jejunojejunostomy http://www.utswmedicine.org
6
Roux-en-Y Normal Anatomy
7
Assessment of Roux-en-Y Bypass UGI: –Scout image! –Gastric pouch, gastrojejunal anastomosis, Roux limb and jejunojejunal anastomosis Leak, stricture, obstruction, ulcers Excluded stomach and biliopancreatic limb not well evaluated CT: –Oral contrast right before exam –Contrast in gastric pouch, Roux limb to jejunojejunal anastomosis –Excluded stomach collapsed and non-opacified –Leak, stricture, obstruction, ischemia, collections
8
Roux-en-Y Complications Leaks Stricures Marginal Ulcers Jejunal ischemia Small bowel obstruction Recurrent weight gain
9
Leak Up to 5% of patients ~3/4 at gastrojejunal anastomosis Usually <10 days post-op Abscess, peritonitis, sepsis H20 soluble UGI POD #1-2 Percutaneous drainage and Abx vs. surgery
10
Anastomotic Stricture Transient edema and spasm post op 4+ weeks post-op 3-9% of patients Usually at gastrojejunal anastomosis Scarring vs. chronic ischemia Endoscopic dilatation Chandler et. al, AJR 2008;190(1):122–135.
11
Marginal Ulcers At gastrojejunal anastomosis 3-13% of patients Chronic exposure of gastric acid to Roux limb Epigastric pain, UGIB PPIs, surgical revision
12
Jejunal Ischemia Acute –Pain, bleeding, N/V early post-op –UGI: Thickened spiculated mucosal folds – submucosal edema and hemorrhage –CT: Bowel wall thickening with mesenteric edema and engorged mesenteric vessecls Chronic –Intractable N/V secondary to jejunal stricture –UGI: Smooth tubular narrowing, loss of mucosal folds, non-healing giant ulcer(s) > 2.5 cm –CT: Jejunal narrowing with bowel wall thickening
13
Jejunal Ischemia
14
Small Bowel Obstruction Up to 5% of patients Adhesions, internal hernias, abd wall hernias, strictures, intussuception Type A –Dilated Roux limb, decompressed B-P limb and excluded stomach Type B –Dilated B-P limb and excluded stomach –Closed loop – risk ischemia, perforation Type C –SBO distal to jejunojejunostomy –Dilated Roux and B-P limbs
15
Type A SBO
16
Type B SBO
17
Recurrent Weight Gain Dehiscence of gastric staple line “Gastrogastric fistula” Food enters excluded stomach Restrictive effect gone Patients no longer have early satiety Contrast in excluded stomach –Must exclude reflux from B-P limb Dilation of gastrojejunal anastomasosis another cause recurrent weight gain
18
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding Silicone band with inflatable balloon sutured around proximal stomach ~2 cm below GE jxn Creates small gastric pouch Inflatable inner sleeve – sub q port in abd wall –adjust band intermittently to alter degree of restrictive effect Early satiety decreased caloric intake Less invasive vs. Roux-en-Y Comparable (short-term) weight loss Fewer complications
19
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding Chandler et. al, AJR 2008;190(1):122–135. Normal Phi angle 4-58 deg
20
Lap Band Complications Stomal stenosis Pouch dilation Band slippage Malpositioned Band
21
Stomal Stenosis Most common complication, 8- 11% Band overinflation, edema Excessive luminal narrowing, obstruction N/V, regurgitation, dysphagia, pain Findings –Excessive luminal narrowing at band, dilated of proximal stomach/esoph, GE reflux, slow emptying/lack of contrast through stoma Deflate band +/- repeat fluoro Chandler et. al, AJR 2008;190(1):122–135.
22
Band Slippage 4-13% Band overinflation, recurrent emesis, poor surgical technique Herniation of fundus above band Luminal narrowing, obstruction Increased Phi angle, “O” sign, air-fluid level in gastric pouch Deflate band +/- surgical correction
23
Malpositioned Band Inexperienced surgeon Band placed in perigastric fat – no restrictive effect Band placed in lower stomach - gastric outlet obstruction
24
Perforation <1% Traumatic injury to gastric wall at surgery Pain, fever, leukocytosis UGI: Contained or free extravasation of contrast CT: Contrast extravasation, extraluminal gas, fluid collections
25
Gastric Volvulus Rare Band slippage with twisting of stomach around band Closed loop obstruction –Strangulation, ischemia, infarction UGI: converging gastric folds, stomach rotated upwards to left above fundus, luminal obstruction CT: Gastric wall thickening, pneumatosis Urgent surgical removal
26
Intraluminal Band Erosion Late complication, <2% Pressure necrosis from inflated band Usually incomplete erosion Rarely complete erosion –migrate distally in antrum, duodenum, or proximal jejunum or proximally to GE jxn –mechanical obstruction Contrast surrounding band Surgical removal
27
Port and Band-related complications Port infection and port eversion Port, tubing or band kink or disruption Tube erosion into stomach or bowel Chandler et. al, AJR 2008;190(1):122–135.
28
Port and Band-related complications Chandler et. al, AJR 2008;190(1):122–135.
29
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Newer technique - ~5% of bariatric surgeries in 2008 Stomach divided along long axis ~75% stomach removed – Banana shaped pouch created – restrictive effect ~100 cc total volume No need for periodic adjustments Irreversible http://www.massgeneral.org Kiriakopolus et. al, Hormones 2009, 8(2):138-143
30
Laparscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Complications Gastric Leak Gastric Stricture/Gastric outlet obstruction Gastric Dilation Gastroesophageal Reflux
31
Gastric Leak <1% Long staple line along greater curvature Most commonly at proximal end of staple line laterally near GE jxn Pain, fever, leukocytosis Extravasation of contrast, extraluminal collections/abscesses
32
Gastric Leak
33
Gastric Stricture/Gastric Outlet Obstruction Scarring along greater curvature staple line –Narrowing of pouch Focal strictures or long segment narrowing Delayed emptying of contrast from residual stomach Dilated proximal stomach and esophagus Endoscopic dilatation +/- surgical revision
34
Gastric Dilation ~4.5% Inadequate weight loss, recurrent weight gain Widening of gastric sleeve, loss of tubular/banana shape
35
Gastroesophageal Reflux Increased incidence of GE reflux –up to 20% –Altered gastric anatomy, stasis Reflux on UGI studies Esophagitis, Barrett’s esophagus, carcinoma
