Abstract | INTRODUCTION: MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study group includes 14 patients aged between 18 and 65 years old, with BMI above 40 kg m2. The study aims to present the complications that occurred in this group of patients in which we performed Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in the Surgery Department of the Emergency City Hospital Timişoara. The surgery was performed by xifo-umbilical laparotomy technique. Subsequently, patients were followed postoperatively at 1 month, and then every 3 months, up to 2 years. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: We only found in our group only complications related to the postoperative wound that can be minimized by modifying the suturing technique of the abdominal wall. Gastric bypass should be performed despite all incriminated risks, providing a better lifestyle to obese patients.
