OBJECTIVE: This article reviews the various bariatric surgical techniques and the associated imaging findings of normal postoperative anatomy and of common complications. CONCLUSION: Bariatric surgery is increasingly performed to control morbid obesity secondary to failed medical approaches. As a result, imaging plays an important role in postoperative evaluation and management. Practical knowledge of postsurgical anatomy allows accurate interpretation of imaging findings related to normal postsurgical anatomy and common postsurgical complications.
