Abstract

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is now one of the most commonly performed surgical treatment for morbid obesity worldwide [1] while complications regarding this procedure are reported in the literature, acute pancreatitis is a rare complication that is appearing more as the number of patients undergoing (LSG) is increasing.
This report presents a patient who developed recurrent acute pancreatitis in the early post-operative period at days 14 and 26 post-operatively as he returned to our hospital twice complaining of fever, nausea, persistent vomiting, dehydration and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), with high serum lipase.
CT-scan pelviabdominal with contrast diagnosed acute pancreatitis. The patient was managed conservatively and recovered well. LSG is a common bariatric surgery procedure, most common complications associated with it are bleeding and leakage from the staple line.
