Abstract
Background and Aims
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is routinely performed in patients who undergo conversion from adjustable gastric banding to another bariatric procedure (eg, gastric bypass) of band removal. Band erosion is the main concern in these patients. The objective of this study was to analyze the yield of EGD in these patients.
Methods
All patients between 2008 and 2020 who underwent bariatric surgery with an adjustable gastric band in place were included. Results of EGD were analyzed retrospectively and categorized according to clinical consequences.
Results
Overall, 514 patients (62 male, 452 female; mean age 46 years; mean BMI 40) underwent surgery with an adjustable gastric band in situ. In total, 488 patients (95%) underwent preoperative EGD. No abnormalities were found in 205 patients (42%), 112 patients (23%) had abnormalities without treatment consequences, 156 patients (32%) had findings that required pharmaceutical (ie, proton pump inhibitors and/or antibiotics) intervention, and 15 patients (3.1%) had severe findings altering management (group D). In 5 of these patients (1.0%), surgery was postponed due to Barrett's esophagus, and 10 of these patients (2.0%) had gastric band erosion. No subgroup of patients could be identified to increase the yield of the EGD.
Conclusion
Routine preoperative assessment by EGD in patients before bariatric surgery with an adjustable gastric band in situ still detects some severe abnormalities significantly altering management.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
