Gastrocolic fistula (GCF) following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is uncommon. Usually it presents late with nonspecific symptoms and originates from the gastrojejunostomy (GJ). Management of such complication can be surgical, but endoscopic management can be implemented in selected patients. To our knowledge this is the first case reporting an early GCF originating from gastric pouch successfully managed with endoscopic stenting.
