Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Obesity remains a global health problem, and bariatric surgery is considered the most effective treatment for morbid obesity. However, postoperative complications such as anastomotic stenosis or inflammation of the anastomosis can occur. This report describes a case of early anastomositis on the first postoperative day after a one-anastomosis gastric bypass in a 38-year-old patient with morbid obesity and metabolic comorbidities. Conservative management, including hormonal, antibacterial, and supportive therapy, led to resolution of symptoms without the need for endoscopic balloon dilation or revision surgery. Follow-up showed complete recovery with no dysphagia or reflux, and weight loss was achieved by the third postoperative month. This case demonstrates the potential effectiveness of non-surgical therapy in managing early postoperative anastomositis.
