First off, let me say they are rare. But they can be caused by a few different things.

1. An improper staple line

2. scar tissue from previous procedures

3. over eating in the earlier stages of healing (usually in the 1st 6 weeks)

Im sure there there are other causes but those three cover the vast majority.
