Gastro-peritoneal fistula is a rare but serious complication of laparoscopic sleeve
gastrectomy with significant morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a
42-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid
obesity and presented later with a history of chronic epigastric pain and severe
reflux. Upper gastrointestinal series showed the presence of a communicating
fistula between the stomach and the left hemi-diaphragm and peri-splenic area.
