bilious drainage observed which can be seen in the color of the output or determined via laboratory analysis. Findings consistent with bile include elevated bilirubin and amylase from the drain uid. One cohort study of DSB found a median time of diagnosis of 13days with the longest time to diagnosis being postoperative day 75 [4]. Therefore, a high index of suspicion should be maintained with any patient who has had a recent creation of a duodenal stump.
42.3 Diagnosis ofaBlowout
Diagnosis of DSB is most commonly accomplished with a combination of clinical signs, laboratory studies, and cross-sectional imaging. Laboratory studies are nonspecic but may show electrolyte abnormalities, anemia, and leukocytosis. Commonly utilized imag­ing modalities include X-rays or CT scan with or without IV or PO contrast. Plain lms may show signs of small bowel obstruction, oral contrast extravasation, or presence of a stula. Abdominal CT may show inammation around the duodenal stump and/or a uid collection (Fig. 42.1); aspiration or drainage of the peritoneal uid will demonstrate

bilious contents. Less commonly, exploratory laparotomy can be used to make the diag­nosis of DSB, but the authors recommend against this in clinically stable patients. Diagnostic surgical exploration can be performed if clinical suspicion remains high or the patient is clinically unstable or declining. Signicant inammation around the duodenal stump can make surgical diagnosis difcult, and multiple explorations may be necessary if clinical status continues to decline [24].
42.4 General Management ofaStump Blowout
Identication and understanding of techniques to manage duodenal stump blowout is a key factor in the effective treatment of these patients. Once the diagnosis of DSB is made, it is imperative to promptly intervene. It is important to provide IV uids, electrolyte replacement, and supplementary nutritional support and begin drainage as early as possible [5]. This is important because early detection of duo­denal stump blowout, through identication of presenting signs and symptoms of the condition, can greatly improve the management outcomes of these patients [4].

duodenal leakage, a phenomenon that can be synonymous with DSB.Aside from conservative measures, there are a multitude of approaches to manage and treat duodenal stump blowout, depending on the condition of the patient and severity of the DSB.In this section, we will discuss when to utilize each approach, summarize each technique, and present possible problems associated with each type of management.
K. Pittala et al.
42.5 Conservative Management
Conservative management consists of starting broad-spectrum antibiotics and par­enteral nutrition early in the patient’s course in addition to percutaneous drainage using a tube duodenostomy [3]. It is generally the preferred approach in stable patients and should be implemented immediately after a diagnosis of DSB is made unless other serious secondary complications are present such as sepsis, bleeding, or undrained abscesses [4]. When utilizing a percutaneous drain, the conservative approach led to resolution of leakage in 92.3% of patients with a healing time rang­ing from 17 to 71days [6]. If the conservative approach fails or serious secondary complications are present, then the surgical approach should be considered [6].
42.6 Percutaneous Approach
The percutaneous approach is typically coupled with the conservative approach, but it can also be coupled with a surgical approach after an operation to repair a leaking duodenal stump. Percutaneous drainage can involve drainage of abscesses or be utilized as a duodenostomy. It is most useful if the conservative approach fails and a re-laparotomy is impossible while also being an effective method to control post­operative infection [6]. Not only can percutaneous drains be utilized as a drainage method but they can also be utilized to lead to stoma formation in the perforated site of the stump which leads to spontaneous closure of the DSB [7].
While radiology can be utilized to place drains postoperatively, another simple method of drainage is Foley catheters. One study examined the utilization of Foley catheters as drains after DSB and found some advantages such as allowing early oral intake by preventing additional leakage via lling of the Foley catheter balloon with a reduction in the duration of hospitalization [7]. To utilize a Foley catheter, rst a pigtail catheter is inserted for initial drainage of the DSB uid; once the size of the uid cavity is reduced and the stula tract is opacied, then a Foley catheter is inserted to close the stula tract. Requirements necessary for successful Foley catheter usage are sufcient length of time needed for pigtail catheter drainage before Foley catheter insertion and Foley catheter removal only after the enterocu­taneous stula tract has completely matured [7]. The optimal amount of time needed with pigtail drainage prior to Foley catheter placement is currently unknown.

Patients who might benet most from this approach include those with severe adhe­sion, frozen abdomen, carcinomatosis peritonei, or obesity [7].
A combination of the conservative and percutaneous approaches can be used for 4–6weeks prior to pursuing a surgical strategy. This should be guided by the condi­tion of the patient as if they are not improving or worsening, surgical intervention may need to be approached sooner [6].
42.7 Surgical Management
Surgical management of DSB can involve draining, closing, or resecting the blow­out, and it is most frequently utilized in patients with more severe conditions. Some of these include diffuse peritonitis, intra-abdominal hemorrhage, major wound dis­ruption, bleeding duodenal ulcer, and abdominal compartment syndrome [4, 7]. The need for reoperation is associated with higher mortality and requiring longer ICU care, but this may be due to the patients already being in critical condition when the operation occurs [4]. Reoperation may also be ineffective if done soon after the rst operation because of postoperative edema, inammation, and dense adhesion [7]. The exact surgical procedure that can be implemented depends on the size of the leak, extent of the abscess, and status of the patient [3].
The most common procedure is an exploratory laparotomy which allows for examination of the abdomen in combination with drainage, closure, or resection of the duodenal stump [3]. Currently, a large series comparing these interventions are lacking, and no preferred intervention is known. Therefore, clinical judgment at the time of operation is of utmost importance in each case.
Drainage is one of the possible avenues to explore when assessing treatment for a DSB.One example is the usage of a Malecot catheter for control of a DSB.A 20F Malecot catheter can be inserted into the duodenum and over-sewn with a purse­string suture, in situations where inammation is present, for drainage of a blowout and decompression of the lumen [8]. Other types of drains may be used as well. The key to surgical drainage procedures is examination of the entirety of the abdomen with adequate washout and wide drainage of the blowout. Closure can be attempted as well at the time of surgical exploration but is generally inadvisable as sutures may not hold due to surgical inammation and edema. Some have suggested that staples should be utilized instead of sutures for closure [5]. However, the authors would caution that tissue aps, sutures, and staples are difcult to utilize in this patient population due to the inability of these friable tissues to hold these repairs. In this scenario, the goal should be source control and washout, without deni­tive repair.
Resection is another surgical strategy to manage a blown duodenal stump and can be performed if there is irreversible damage to the distal resection point of the duodenum in cases such as gastric cancer. However, the remaining tissue is at risk for tissue breakdown and poor healing due to surrounding inammation [2]. To perform a duodenal resection, an extended Kocher maneuver is performed with

detachment of the rst and proximal second part of the duodenum from the pancre­atic head through ligating small vessels and brous connections [2]. After the surgi­cal procedure is done, it is recommended to lower the intraluminal pressures in the duodenal stump through retrograde decompression via tube duodenostomy [2, 3]. Triple tube drainage composed of a tube gastrotomy, retrograde tube duodenos­tomy, and feeding jejunostomy, typically performed after duodenal perforation, can also provide extra damage control of the affected area by providing diversion and decompression of all enteric secretions in cases of DSB [9]. In patients who are not fully treated at their primary laparotomy, re-exploration and washout can be per­formed [3]. Re-exploration may be most useful in patients with a large amount of peritoneal contamination or who developed abdominal compartment syndrome. Again, the authors recommend washout, drainage, and time over a resection or an attempted repair of the injury.
42.8 Special Considerations inDuodenal Switch
Bariatric patients present specific difficulties in both the diagnosis and man­agement of DSB.Due to their size, cross-sectional imaging with CT or MRI can be difficult to obtain, and the quality of the exam is lower due to the patient’s fat content [10]. Not only that, patients with morbid obesity, while overweight, may also be nutritionally depleted leading to issues with wound healing [11]. It’s also well known that morbidly obese tend to present with a less concerning physical exam with tachycardia at times being the main sign of intra-abdominal leak.
Management of bariatric patients presents a variety of difculties. First of all, conservative treatment has been shown to be very successful in duodenal stump leaks (intravenous antibiotics, drainage, and parenteral nutrition) [4], but this approach may be inadequate for patients with morbid obesity or complete stump blowout. The bariatric population is also more susceptible to infectious and non­infectious complications which can be triggered by a stump blowout and lead to extensive peritonitis requiring invasive management [12].
Drainage of the duodenal stump early may be the most important factor in treat­ing duodenal stump blowout to limit the spread of inammatory factors into the peritoneal space, and this is usually done using a pigtail catheter into the periduode­nal space or a Foley catheter inserted into a duodenostomy [5]; however, this can prove to be a challenge with morbidly obese patients due to the level of central adiposity present. This can lead to difculty placing drainage tubes due to the thick­ness and composition of the abdominal wall as well as difculty placing trocars for laparoscopic intervention [10].
As mentioned previously, reoperation should only be considered in cases of widespread peritonitis or hemoperitoneum when it is essential to stabilize patients in critical condition, as there are much higher mortality rates (up to 56% mortality rate with patients undergoing one or more reoperations) associated with surgical

intervention than conservative treatment [4]. Given the difculty of performing open operations on the bariatric population, this high mortality rate for invasive intervention may be even higher in bariatric patients. When surgical intervention is indicated, it is important to be able to quickly locate and access the duodenal stump to repair the blowout. This can be challenging if the duodenum has retracted into the retroperitoneal space or in the setting of bariatric patients who have high levels of visceral adipose tissue. A Kocher maneuver may be required to better mobilize the duodenum for easier access. The Kocher maneuver involves dissect­ing the peritoneal attachments on the right of the duodenum so that it is free to be reected to the left or, in the case of duodenal stump blowout, mobilization for ease of repair.
Not only is the mechanical exploration of bariatric patients more difcult due to their size, there is also a component of ischemia that obesity brings with it. With bariatric patients, increased visceral adiposity can also lead to ischemia around the duodenal stump because fat tissue is hypo-perfused relative to other tissues and prone to poor oxygenation [10]. This can lead to increased risk for infection in obese patients as the oxidative mechanism of killing bacteria is impaired in and around large collections of fat tissue.
Another extremely important note for the duodenal switch population is that they usually have comorbidities that require medications that increase susceptibility to bleeding such as heparin derivatives for DVT prophylaxis [10]. Obese patients are prone to DVT after surgery due to decreased circulating antithrombin III and decreased thrombolytic activity [13] and therefore need more DVT prophylaxis, putting them at risk for increased bleeding after surgery. This can be especially dangerous if there is a rupture of a blood vessel near the duodenal stump because in a patient with impaired hemostasis, it could impair the surgeon’s ability to visualize the stump for repair during reoperation, and it remains a danger in the postopera­tive phase.
In addition to the traditional two-anastomosis duodenal switch, another type of duodenal switch that is gaining popularity is the single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI). In this procedure, a sleeve gastrectomy is performed similarly to BPD-DS; however, instead of the Roux-en-Y conguration of the small intestine with a 100cm common channel after the duodeno-ileal anastomosis, a loop of distal ileum is brought up to connect directly to the transected duodenum to create a single anastomosis with a 300cm common channel. The creation of one less anastomosis in the SADI means there is statistically less likelihood of downstream obstruction or leakage leading to peritonitis or duodenal stump blowout; however, studies to date show that there are comparable levels of complications between the two procedures as well as comparable levels of weight loss [14].
As it can be challenging to make the diagnosis for the litany of reasons men­tioned above, the authors recommend placing a drain over the biliary stump at the time of surgery. The drain is both diagnostic of the duodenal stump leak while at the same time providing source control and can be therapeutic. Outside of pancreatic surgery, this is one of the few times the authors recommend leaving an abdominal drain in place on a primary gastrointestinal surgery.

42.9 Conclusion
Duodenal stump blowout is a dreaded complication of duodenal switch, and it is important for physicians to understand how to manage and treat patients effectively when it happens. Early identication and intervention are essential for the preven­tion and mitigation of severe secondary complications. Diagnosis with clinical signs, laboratory studies, and cross-sectional imaging gives a window into the severity of the patient’s condition and leads to the decision for conservative or inva­sive management. As diagnosis is challenging, the authors recommend leaving a surgical drain over the stump at the primary surgery. Conservative treatment is the best option for stable patients; however, if the patient becomes unstable, then a sur­gical approach may be required. In the conservative approach, percutaneous drain placement is usually paired with antibiotics and parenteral nutrition. Invasive man­agement is most useful in critically ill patients with intra-abdominal hemorrhage, major wound disruption, bleeding duodenal ulcer, and abdominal compartment syn­drome. Duodenal switch is a powerful tool for excess weight loss in bariatric patients, but this comes at an increased risk for complications such as duodenal stump blowout. It is imperative for bariatric surgeons to be familiar with the presen­tation and management of DSB in order to ensure patient safety and successful outcomes.

43.1 Introduction
Gastrointestinal leak is one of the most serious complications following bariatric surgery. The rates of leaks after bariatric surgery vary from 0 to 7% after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), 0 to 5.6% after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and 0.7 to 8% after biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) [1]. Despite the decreasing worldwide incidence over time, gastrointestinal leak remains a signi­cant cause of morbidity and mortality after bariatric surgeries [2]. The etiology of leaks is multiple but generally falls into mechanical/tissue causes or ischemic causes, both of which involve intraluminal pressure that exceeds the strength of the tissue and/or staple line.
The diagnosis of a gastrointestinal leak after bariatric surgery can be challeng­ing. The patient’s presentation varies according to the type and timing of the leak and also the patient’s systemic inammatory response. The clinical presentation, signs, and symptoms are highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic to septic shock [3, 4]. An early detection is associated with a better outcome, and a high index of suspicion is the cornerstone in the diagnosis [2]. However, patients with morbid obesity may show equivocal presentations, leading to late diagnosis and

potentially catastrophic consequences [3, 4]. As a major complication following bariatric surgery, routine intraoperative leak tests should be always considered and could be an especially relevant aspect considering the legal environment in some countries.
Traditionally, leak tests have been a way to rule out intraoperative technical mis­takes or other issues leading to leaks. Different techniques have been developed with the aim of identifying a suture line leak. The most common are air insufation or methylene blue dye injection through a naso- or orogastric tube and an intraop­erative upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. More recently, a green indocyanine (ICG) leak test has also been introduced, and some other authors have described a double transoral test, including methylene blue and ICG [5]. Regardless of the type of test used, intraoperative identication of a leak should warrant an appropriate repair and retesting before completion of the operation and can help to easily prevent severe postoperative complications.
However, we do not have an ideal intraoperative leak test, and its utility during bariatric surgery is controversial. Some studies have shown that the use of a routine intraoperative leak test was not associated with a decrease in the incidence of post­operative leaks [6, 7]. The reality is that there is no high-quality clinical evidence, not to mention prospective randomized studies, to suggest that any such interven­tions signicantly decrease leak incidence after bariatric surgery. In fact, some authors have pointed out that the use of routine leak tests that increase the intralu­minal pressure may damage the fresh suture line. However, both hand-sewn and stapled suture lines have a burst strength well in excess of any intragastric pressure likely to be created by a brief intraoperative leak check, be it air, liquid, or an intra­operative endoscopy [8]. Moreover, a study including multiple data showed no evi­dence of either benet but also no harm of intraoperative leak test in patients who underwent SG, RYGB, or BPD-DS [1].
Although it may not be 100% reliable, leak testing is not likely to create iatro­genic damage to properly constructed fresh suture lines [1, 8]. So, given the poten­tial benet of detecting and correcting immediately a suture leak, and the small effort that the test implies when the team is used to do it, we strongly recommend to introduce one in the routine performance of the duodenal switch and its variants. Besides, the medico-legal aspects should also be taken into consideration [9].
43.2 Methylene Blue Test (Fig.43.3)
The methylene blue test consists of injecting the dye through a previously placed orogastric tube located at the antrum of the gastric sleeve, in order to inate the cav­ity and see if any blue leaks out of the lumen. It is a very straightforward test that, when performed by a trained surgical and anesthetic team, may take less than 2min to complete. It does not have a high sensibility, but, when positive, it allows to iden­tify and immediately repair inadvertent technical mistakes.
