Abstract
Introduction:
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgical technique systematization makes it a very safe technique that it is not exempt from intraoperative complications. One of the key aspects for performing a safe procedure is combining technical expertise with nontechnical skills, such as communication and teamwork.
Materials and Methods:
We describe a case that highlights the importance of surgical team interaction to avoid intraoperative complications during bariatric surgery, as an incidental stapling of the nasogastric tube.
Results:
This clinical case highlights the importance of effective teamwork and a culture of safety during complex laparoscopic surgical procedures.
Conclusions:
The lack of effective surgical team communication during a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass can be a cause of severe surgical complications that requires experience of the surgical team for its resolution.
