The objective of this article is to review the utility of radiological techniques in the diagnosis of surgical complications after bariatric surgery. Literature-based review and pictorial illustration in the use of imaging techniques in the diagnosis of complications after bariatric surgery. Radiology plays a critical role in the diagnosis of complications after bariatric surgery. Upper GI contrast study and CT are the most commonly used imaging modalities in this regard. They are complementary in their diagnostic abilities and should be used in concert for the complete evaluation of symptomatic patients.
