Abstract
Introduction: Revisional bariatric surgery is performed to alter or repair one of the many types of weight loss surgery, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The revision of bariatric procedures is required between 10 to 25% of patients operated, either by insufficient weight loss or complications, in-cluding stenosis. After a LSG, the Roux- en- Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is the most requested surgery for conversion. The aim of this study was to describe a series of 5 patients who had revisional surgery for stenosis following LSG. Material and Method: Between January 2006 and March 2013, in 770 consecutive patients was performed LSG. Patients were included in a prospective protocol. Five patients had revisional surgery with conversion to RYGBP for stenosis following LSG. In three patients the initial LSG was performed in our hospital, the other 2 were from other hospitals. Results: In the 5 patients with revisional surgery mean age was 39.8 ± 15.7 years. Four patients were women (80%). The average BMI before LSG was 37.0 ± 2.1 kg/m

Summary
Revisional bariatric surgery is performed to alter or repair one of the many types of weight loss surgery, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Five patients had revisional surgery with conversion to RYGBP for stenosis following LSG. La revisión de procedimientos bariátricos se hace necesaria entre el 10 al 25% de los pacientes, ya sea por baja de peso insuficiente o por complicaciones, siendo la estenosis una de ellas. Entre las complicaciones que se pueden presentar después de una GVL, una es la estenosis, existiendo para ella diversos tratamientos como dilataciones endoscópicas, endoprótesis gastrointestinales, plastía de las estrecheces y la cirugía revisional, siendo el BPG la cirugía más requerida para su solución. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir una serie de 5 pacientes que tuvieron cirugía revisional por estenosis posterior a una GVL
