[PMID: 38657494 DOI: 10.1016/j.anndiagpath.2024.152319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a relatively new bariatric procedure with lower morbidity and mortality than other weight loss surgeries. The predictive values of preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy for detecting histopathological abnormalities prior to sleeve gastrectomy have not been clearly described. This study aimed to determine the negative predictive value of preoperative endoscopic biopsies for detecting Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and other pathological findings. METHODS This cross-sectional study examined 102 patients who underwent vertical sleeve gastrectomy from January 2023 to November 2023. Preoperative histopathology of esophagogastroduodenoscopy specimens was compared to postoperative ones for H. pylori infection, gastritis, atrophy, and metaplasia. Moreover, gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms were postoperatively followed for 6 months. RESULTS The negative predictive value of preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy for detecting H. pylori infection, gastritis, metaplasia and atrophy were 95 %, 79 %, 93 %, and 98 %, respectively. In an overall view, for all pathologies, the negative predictive value was 53.4 %. Moderate gastritis and focal metaplasia were significantly underdiagnosed preoperatively (p < 0.001). H. pylori infection and focal metaplasia were significantly more prevalent in females after surgery (p < 0.001). H. pylori infection and gastritis were positively correlated with increased postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Preoperative endoscopy has a high negative predictive value for detecting H. pylori infection, atrophy, and metaplasia but has suboptimal values for gastritis.

Preoperative Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy and the Effect on Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Obes Surg 2023; 33:2546-2556. [PMID: 37314649 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06680-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Preoperative oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) in bariatric surgery remains a controversial topic, with a large variety in practice globally. An electronic database search of Medline, Embase and PubMed was performed in an aim to categorise the findings of preoperative endoscopies in bariatric patients. A total of 47 studies were included in this meta-analysis resulting in 23,368 patients being assessed. Of patients assessed, 40.8% were found to have no novel findings, 39.7% had novel findings which did not affect surgical planning, 19.8% had findings that affected their surgery and 0.3% were ruled to not be suitable for bariatric surgery. Preoperative OGD is altering surgical planning in one-fifth of patients; however, further comparative studies are required to determine if each patient should undergo this procedure especially if asymptomatic.

[PMID: 36468894 DOI: 10.1097/sle.0000000000001122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in patients before laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and to reveal whether HP is associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) before LSG. METHODS The study included 435 patients who underwent primary LSG between April 2018 and September 2021. All patients underwent preoperative endoscopy. All patients were investigated for the presence of HP. No treatment for HP eradication was given to any of the patients. Patients were divided into 2 groups HP (+) and HP(-), and compared for GERD, complications, and weight loss before and after LSG. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 38.3±11 years (56.1% female), and the mean BMI was 44.2±7.1 kg/m 2 . Symptomatic GERD was found in 102 (23.4%) patients. Endoscopy showed hiatal hernia in 42 (9.7%) patients, and these patients also underwent hiatal hernia repair in the same session. HP was (+) in 125 (28.7%) patients. HP (+) patients were assigned to Group A, while HP (-) patients were assigned to Group B. In the preoperative period, the rate of symptomatic GERD was 22.4% (n=28/125) in Group A and 23.9% (n=74/310) in Group B ( P =0.74). The mean follow-up period was 17±5.7 (range, 12 to 28) months. The mean BMI decreased to 28.3±4.9 kg/m 2 at 12 months after LSG. Given the association between HP and GERD after LSG, it was 25.6% (n=32/125) in Group A and 20% (n=62/310) in Group B ( P =0.2). In addition, there was no difference between the 2 groups in terms of weight loss. CONCLUSION This study showed no difference between patients with or without HP infection in terms of GERD before LSG.

Abstract
Introduction and importance Menetrier's disease is a rare type of hypertrophic gastropathy characterized by the atrophy of the gastric parietal cells and dilatation of mucus releasing glands. Hereby, we present a morbid obese patient who has undergone laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and he has also diagnosed with Menetrier's disease. Case presentation A 67-year-old male patient whose body mass index (BMI) was 39 kg/m2. Preoperative endoscopy was done. There were no pathologies except increased gastric mucosal folds. LSG was done. During the surgery it was noticed that gastric tissue was abnormally thick. After LSG completed, it was observed that there was an abnormal bleeding from the staple line. The staple line was oversewed with 3.0 V-Loc™ and bleeding was stopped. Pathology report was compatible with menetrier's disease. Clinical discussion Hypoalbuminemia and H. pylori take an important place in diagnosis of Menetrier's disease, but H. pylori was not detected and albumin level was normal in our patient. For certain diagnosis full-thickness gastric biopsy is needed. The routine use of preoperative endoscopy in patients scheduled for bariatric surgery was still controversial until recently. Conclusion This is the first case with menetrier's disease that has undergone LSG. Preoperative endoscopic evaluation before bariatric surgery is crucial. As in this case, it will be effective in terms performing additional intraoperative precautions when necessary and preventing possible complications.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study to reveal preliminary results of our Toupet-sleeve technique in morbid obese patients with symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and compare their outcomes with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) patients' outcomes. METHODS The study included 103 patients who underwent primary LSG between March 2018 and October 2020 and 18 patients who underwent partial T-sleeve. Patients were stratified into 2 groups according to the surgical technique. All of the patients had preoperative symptomatic GERD. Patients were reevaluated with regard to GERD symptoms and weight loss in the postoperative period. Two groups' data were compared. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 39.2±10.2 years (63% female), and the mean body mass index was 43.2±6.4 kg/m2. The median operative time was 93 minutes (75 to 110 min) in group A (primary LSG) and 110 minutes (90 to 120 min) in group B (partial T-sleeve). The mean body mass index decreased to 28±4.5 kg/m2 in group A and 25.8±3.5 kg/m2 in group B at 12 months after the surgery. At the 12th month, the patients were reevaluated for GERD symptoms. Reflux symptoms were found to be resolved in 62% of the patients (n=64) in group A, while 32% of the patients (n=39) had persistent GERD symptoms. In group B, all of the patients had discontinued proton pump inhibitors postoperatively, and GERD symptoms were completely resolved in 94% of these patients (n=17). CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that T-sleeve provides a very good weight loss and reflux control in patients with symptomatic GERD with morbid obesity in the short-term period. This technique can be proposed in some cases as a primary treatment modality. High numbers of patients and longer follow-up are needed.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to reveal incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and to determine the effect of LSG with hiatal hernia repair on GERD. METHODS A total of 440 patients, 395 of them underwent primary LSG (group A) and 45 of them underwent LSG with concomitant hiatal hernia repair (group B) between March 2018 and September 2020 were included in the study. Presence of hiatal hernia was evaluated with endoscopy and confirmed intraoperatively. Patients were evaluated for GERD symptoms in the pre and postoperative period. Two groups' data were compared. RESULTS Mean age of the 440 patients was 38.4±11 years (56% female) and mean body mass index was 44.2±7 kg/m2. Symptomatic GERD was detected in 103 (23.4%) and hiatal hernia was detected in 45 (10.2%) patients. İn the preoperative assessment there was no difference with regard to demographics and symptomatic GERD between the 2 groups. Mean duration of follow-up was 17±5.7 (12 to 28) months in the overall study population. Mean body mass index decreased to 28.3±4.9 kg/m2at 12 months after LSG. Excess weight loss ratio was found to be 81±20.4%. The rate of symptomatic GERD after LSG in group A was found to be 20% (n=79/395). Of these patients, 46 (11.6%) had de novo GERD and 33 (38%) had persistent GERD. GERD resolved completely in 54 (62%) patients. In the group B, the rate of symptomatic GERD was detected as 33% (n=15/45) (P=0.04). The rate of de novo GERD (20%) was also higher in group B (P=0.03). The rate of persistent GERD (37%) and GERD resolution (62%) were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION İn our study, symptomatic and de novo GERD rates were detected to be higher in the LSG+HH group than LSG alone.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are interrelated in a complex manner, and their coexistence predisposes patients to a plethora of medical problems. Metabolic surgery has evolved as a promising therapeutic option for both conditions. It is recommended that patients, particularly those of Asian origin, maintain a lower body mass index threshold in the presence of uncontrolled DM. However, several comorbidities often accompany these chronic diseases and need to be addressed for successful surgical outcome. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are the most commonly used bariatric procedures worldwide. The bariatric benefits of RYGB and LSG are similar, but emerging evidence indicates that RYGB is more effective than LSG in improving glycemic control and induces higher rates of long-term DM remission. Several scoring systems have been formulated that are utilized to predict the chances of remission. A glycemic target of glycated hemoglobin < 7% is a reasonable goal before surgery. Cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, nutritional, and psychological optimization of surgical candidates improves perioperative and long-term outcomes. Various guidelines for preoperative care of individuals with obesity have been formulated, but very few specifically focus on the concerns arising from the presence of concomitant DM. It is hoped that this statement will lead to the standardization of presurgical management of individuals with DM undergoing metabolic surgery.
