AB - Morbid obesity is a relative contraindication for abdominal organ transplantation. Obese patients present
technical challenges intra-operatively and are at increased risk of post-operative complications. Bariatric
surgery has been shown to be more effective than conventional weight loss strategies in morbidly obese
patients, however, current literature is limited to the kidney transplant population. Here were present a case
report of a patient with morbid obesity who underwent a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass prior to
simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation.
