Radiographic changes after small bowel bypass for morbid obesity. 1976

D H Wade, and V Richards, and H J Burhenne

The presence of multiple intestinal air-fluid levels and the distention of jejunum and colon are common and expected sequelae of small bowel bypass procedures for morbid obesity. The radiologist must be familiar with these findings in order to avoid the misdiagnosis of bowel obstruction.
