Cited in Scopus: 2In accredited centers, bariatric surgery is performed with very low mortality, morbidity, and readmission rates [1–3]. However, a small number of bariatric patients develop postoperative complications such as marginal ulcers. Previous reports cite the incidence of marginal ulcer with significant variability, from .6% to 16% [4]. The etiology of marginal ulcers after a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a matter of debate. Many factors are believed to contribute to the development of marginal ulcers, such as smoking, ischemia, foreign body reaction, gastrogastric fistulas, large gastric pouches, and tension at the anastomosis [5–9].
