Abstract
Objective: This paper reviews the prevalence, etiology, risk factors, diagnosis and prevention of chronic abdominal pain after bariatric surgery.
Introduction: Chronic pain is a very common and complex problem that has serious consequences on individuals and society. It frequently presents as a result of a disease or an injury. Obesity and obesity-related comorbidities are a major health problem and are dramatically increasing year after year. Dieting and physical exercise show disappointing results in the treatment of obesity. Therefore, bariatric surgery is increasingly widely offered as a weight reducing strategy. In our pain clinic we see a lot of patients who suffer from chronic abdominal pain after bariatric surgery. This review aims to explore the link between chronic abdominal pain and bariatric surgery in this specific type of patients.
Method: The review is based on searches in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases. Keywords are used in different combinations. We did a cross-reference of the articles included.
Results: Chronic abdominal pain after bariatric surgery is very common. Around 30% of the bariatric patients experience persistent abdominal pain. An explanation for the abdominal pain is found in 2/3 of these patients.
There is a wide variety of causes including behavioral and nutritional disorders, functional motility disorders, biliary disorders, marginal ulceration and internal hernia. Another, frequently overlooked, cause is abdominal wall pain. Unexplained abdominal pain after bariatric surgery is present in 1/3 of the patients with persistent abdominal pain. More studies are needed on the risk factors and prevention of unexplained abdominal pain in bariatric patients.

Abstract
Despite ongoing evolution in technique and a low mortality rate, clinicians may care for patients who suffer late complications (> 90 days of surgery) after bariatric surgery. Endoscopic techniques are used to identify and manage many of the late complications of the two most commonly performed bariatric surgeries: sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Stenosis at the incisura angularis and gastroesophageal reflux disease may occur in patients who have undergone a sleeve gastrectomy. Patients who underwent a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass can suffer marginal ulceration, gastrojejunal anastomotic stricture, and gastro-gastric fistula. Clinicians may also encounter biliary pathologies such as choledocholithiasis, chronic abdominal pain, and weight regain. This narrative review provides an update on the endoscopic evaluation and management of patients with late complications after sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Endoscopic devices and techniques for the management of bariatric surgical adverse events (with videos). Gastrointest Endosc 2020; 92:492-507. [PMID: 32800313 DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2020.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Accepted: 04/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS As the prevalence of obesity continues to rise, increasing numbers of patients undergo bariatric surgery. Management of adverse events of bariatric surgery may be challenging and often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Endoscopic intervention is often the first line of therapy for management of these adverse events. This document reviews technologies and techniques used for endoscopic management of adverse events of bariatric surgery, organized by surgery type. METHODS The MEDLINE database was searched through May 2018 for articles related to endoscopic management of adverse events of bariatric interventions by using relevant keywords such as adverse events related to "gastric bypass," "sleeve gastrectomy," "laparoscopic adjustable banding," and "vertical banded sleeve gastroplasty," in addition to "endoscopic treatment" and "endoscopic management," among others. Available data regarding efficacy, safety, and financial considerations are summarized. RESULTS Common adverse events of bariatric surgery include anastomotic ulcers, luminal stenoses, fistulae/leaks, and inadequate initial weight loss or weight regain. Devices used for endoscopic management of bariatric surgical adverse events include balloon dilators (hydrostatic, pneumatic), mechanical closure devices (clips, endoscopic suturing system, endoscopic plication platform), luminal stents (covered esophageal stents, lumen-apposing metal stents, plastic stents), and thermal therapy (argon plasma coagulation, needle-knives), among others. Available data, composed mainly of case series and retrospective cohort studies, support the primary role of endoscopic management. Multiple procedures and techniques are often required to achieve clinical success, and existing management algorithms are evolving. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopy is a less invasive alternative for management of adverse events of bariatric surgery and for revisional procedures. Endoscopic procedures are frequently performed in the context of multidisciplinary management with bariatric surgeons and interventional radiologists. Treatment algorithms and standards of practice for endoscopic management will continue to be refined as new dedicated technology and data emerge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retained suture material from primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or revisions may result in local inflammation, ulcer formation, and abdominal pain. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of novel, disposable endoscopic scissors for suture removal. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from December 2016 to January 2019. Patients with history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and upper endoscopy utilizing this novel, disposable endoscopic scissors device were reviewed. Measured outcomes included endoscopy indication, technical success (as determined by ability to achieve adequate cut and suture removal), improvement in abdominal pain if present prior to procedure, and adverse events. RESULTS Sixty-two patients were included in this analysis. Mean age was 54.69 ± 9.40 years. Eighty-eight percent of patients were female. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass occurred on average 142.43 ± 62.33 months prior to suture removal. Primary indications for endoscopy were evaluation of gastric pouch and gastrojejunal anastomosis for weight regain (37.10%) and abdominal pain (30.65%). Overall, technical success of these novel endoscopic scissors was 100% with a mean procedure duration of 23.00 ± 9.50 min. Symptom improvement post-suture removal occurred in approximately half of the patients (48.65%). Post-procedure bleeding was self-limited and occurred in 2 patients (3.23%). Two patients developed transient post-procedure abdominal pain. CONCLUSIONS Novel, disposable endoscopic scissors appear to be highly effective and safe for removal of suture material with high technical success and minimal adverse events.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is widely used as treatment of morbid obesity. Weight loss, effects on obesity-related co-morbidities and quality of life are well documented post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Other outcome measures are less well studied. This review explores aspects of prevalence, diagnostic evaluations, etiology, and treatment of abdominal pain specific to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Methods: The review is based on PubMed searches and clinical experience with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Symptoms in the early postoperative phase (<30 days) were not included. Results: Based on limited evidence, up to about 30% of the patients may perceive recurrent abdominal pain post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in the long term. A substantial subset of patients will need health-care evaluation for acute abdominal pain and hospital admission. The etiology of abdominal pain is heterogeneous and includes gallstone-related disease, intestinal obstruction, anastomotic ulcerations and strictures, intestinal dysmotility, dysfunctional eating, and food intolerance. Surgical treatment and guidance on diet and eating habits may allow symptom relief. The cause of pain remains undefined for a subset of patients. Impact of abdominal pain post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on the perception of well-being, quality of life, and patient satisfaction with the procedure needs to be further evaluated and may be influenced by complex interactions between new symptoms post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and relief of pre-existing symptoms. Conclusion: Abdominal pain should be part of follow-up consultations post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Future studies should focus on combined evaluations before and after surgery to enlighten potential casual relationships between abdominal pain and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Abstract
Obesity is one of the most significant health problems worldwide. Bariatric surgery has become one of the fastest growing operative procedures and has gained acceptance as the leading option for weight-loss. Despite improvement in the performance of bariatric surgical procedures, complications are not uncommon. There are a number of unique complications that arise in this patient population and require specific knowledge for proper management. Furthermore, conditions unrelated to the altered anatomy typically require a different management strategy. As such, a basic understanding of surgical anatomy, potential complications, and endoscopic tools and techniques for optimal management is essential for the practicing gastroenterologist. Gastroenterologists should be familiar with these procedures and complication management strategies. This review will cover these topics and focus on major complications that gastroenterologists will be most likely to see in their practice.

Abstract
Leaks are the most frequent early postoperative complication in the two most popular bariatric procedures, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Multimodal therapy based on self-expandable stent insertion 'to cover' the defect is the most widely documented technique to date with a reported success rate >80%. Additional experimental techniques 'to close' the defect or 'to drain' the paradigestive cavity have been reported with encouraging results. The role of endoscopy in early postoperative bleeding is limited to management of bleeds arising from fresh sutures and the diagnosis of chronic sources of bleeding such as marginal ulcer after RYGB. Post-RYGB stricture is a more delayed complication than leaks and the role of endoscopic dilation as a first-line treatment in this indication is well documented. Ring and band placement are outdated procedures for obesity treatment, but might still be an indication for endoscopic removal, a technique which does not compromise further surgery, if needed.

Abstract
Obesity is a serious disorder in almost the entire world. It is an important risk factor for a series of conditions that affect and threaten health. Currently, bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity, and in addition to the resulting weight loss, it reduces morbidity in this population. There has been a significant increase in the number of obese patients operated on. Despite the success of bariatric surgery, an important group of patients still present with major postoperative complications. In order for endoscopy to effectively contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of complications deriving from obesity surgery, the gastroenterologist must be aware of the particularities involved in bariatric surgery. The present article is a review of the resulting anatomic aspects of the main surgical techniques employed, the most common postoperative symptoms, the potential complications, and the possibilities that endoscopic diagnosis and treatment offer. Endoscopy is a growing and continuously evolving method in the treatment of bariatric surgery complications. The aim of this review is to contribute to the preparation of gastroenterologists so they can offer adequate endoscopic diagnosis and treatment to this high-risk population.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Bariatric surgery is recognized as the most effective treatment against obesity as it results in significant weight reduction and a high rate of remission of obesity-related comorbidities. However, bariatric surgery is not uncommonly associated with complications and an endoscopic approach to management is preferred over surgical reintervention. This review illustrates the latest developments in the endoscopic management of bariatric surgical complications. RECENT FINDINGS For successful management of complications, precipitating and perpetuating factors must be addressed in addition to directing therapy at the target pathology. Endoscopy is well tolerated even in the acute postoperative setting when performed carefully with CO2 insufflation. Chronic proximal staple-line leaks/fistulas frequently do not respond to primary closure with diversion therapy, and a new technique of stricturotomy has been reported to improve outcomes. Innovations in the field of transoral endoscopic instruments have led to the development of a single-session entirely internal endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography by creating a gastrogastric anastomosis. SUMMARY Endoscopy allows for early diagnosis and prompt institution of therapy and should, therefore, be the first-line intervention in the management of complications of bariatric surgery in patients who do not need urgent surgical intervention. Computed tomography-guided drainage may be necessary in patients with drainable fluid collections. VIDEO ABSTRACT http://links.lww.com/COG/A11.

Abstract
The primary role of endoscopic intervention in the care of bariatric surgery patients is in the management of late bariatric surgical complications and non-operative revision of the surgical anatomy. In the future, indications for therapeutic endoscopy will involve the gastroenterologist in primary weight loss interventions as cutting edge technology is currently undergoing rigorous scientific evaluation. Endoscopists caring for these patients should become familiar with post-bariatric surgical anatomy, potential complications, common presenting symptoms, anticipated luminal/extra-luminal findings, and endoscopic management of common bariatric complications; this review addresses these issues. This review will discuss common presenting symptoms, luminal as well as extra-luminal findings and endoscopic management of common bariatric complications.
