This surgical approach carries significant morbidity, including late complications such as stricture (up to 52% of patients), dumping syndrome, delayed gastric emptying, and esophagitis due to acid/bile regurgitation (up to 80% of cases). In order to perform the differential diagnosis of neoplastic recurrence vs bile reflux, it could be reasonable to recommend additional tests, such as a hepatobiliary scintigraphy to confirm reflux, or an endoscopy or any imaging test to confirm recurrence. Our patient underwent <span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span>F-FDG PET/CT one month before MPI, without evidence of recurrence in the lower 2/3 of the gastroplasty.
