Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has become the gold standard operation for morbid obesity, because effects of LRYGB are quick and lasting. However, there are many potential risks due to the operative complexity and long learning curve. There are early and late complications after LRYGB. If the complications are not diagnosed and treated in time and correctly, serious results even death, may occur. Mortality after LRYGB is 0.87%. It is important for the continous and healthy development of LRYGB that postoperative complications can be diagnosed and managed in time and effectively.
