Intestinal occlusion by internal hernia is not a rare complication (0.2%-5%) after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y-GBP (LGBP) with higher morbidity and mortality related to mesenteric vessels involvement. In our Center, from October 2009 to April 2013 we have had 17 pts treated for internal hernia on 412 LGBP (4.12%).
