Abstract
- Purpose: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most common bariatric procedure worldwide. It has been reported that there is a strong association between SG and the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett's esophagus (BE). This study was conducted to evaluate esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) findings in patients with a history of SG with more than 5-year follow-up.<br />Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of prospectively maintained database. Inclusion criteria included patients who underwent SG between April 2015 and March 2016, aged 18 and above, BMI ≥ 40 kg/m <superscript>2</superscript> . Patients with 5 years of follow-up were invited to take part in the study and underwent EGD and biopsy.<br />Results: One hundred twenty-six patients were recruited with a mean age of 44.6 ± 11.1 years. After a 5-year follow-up, there were 31 (29.5%) patients with reflux esophagitis. The grades of GERD were A, B, and C in 16 (15.2), 12 (11.4), and 3 (2.9%) patients, respectively. Incidence of BE was 5.7% after 5 years from SG. There was a 16.6% lost to follow-up at 5 years after SG.<br />Conclusion: The diagnosis and severity of GERD and the search for BE justify endoscopic surveillance in all long-term post-sleeve patients, regardless of reflux symptoms.<br /> (© 2022.
