Case report highlights complications of duodenal ulcer disease in patients with prior gastric bypass, suggesting significant risks.
Perforated duodenal ulcers are a rare occurrence in patients with a history of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RNYGB). This case report is of a patient who had two separate presentations of perforated duodenal ulcer despite a history of RNYGB and who progressed to a high‐output duodenal‐cutaneous fistula after failing the second Graham patch. This highlights the impact ulcer disease can have even in RNYGB patients.
