Abstract
Bariatric surgery has become increasingly popular for treatment of morbid obesity. Imaging for diagnosis of postoperative complications is a challenge in this patient population. In this article, we provide an overview of the most important postoperative complications associated with bariatric surgery, viz. anastomotic leak, internal hernia, biliopancreatic limb obstruction, and gastrogastric fistula. We address the controversies in postoperative imaging of bariatric surgery patients, reviewing the available literature and supplement it with our experience. We also cover a few potential imaging pitfalls which need to be avoided.
