Important Information

Risks & Considerations

In specialized centers, the rate of major complications is generally low (approximately 1–3%), with careful patient selection and structured follow-up significantly reducing long-term risks.

✔ Bleeding
✔ Infection
✔ Anastomotic leak
✔ Bowel obstruction
✔ Diarrhea or altered bowel habits
✔ Nutritional deficiencies (less common than classic bypass but possible)
✔ Blood clots

Every patient undergoes a comprehensive pre-operative evaluation to determine candidacy and reduce complications. During your consultation, your individual risk profile will be reviewed in detail.
