Abstract
BACKGROUND One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) is the third most common bariatric operation for patients with obesity worldwide. One concern about OAGB is the presence of acid and non-acid reflux in a mid- and long-term follow-up. The aim of this study was to objectively evaluate reflux and esophagus motility by comparing preoperative and postoperative mid-term outcomes. SETTING Cross-sectional study; University-hospital based. METHODS This study includes primary OAGB patients (preoperative gastroscopy, high-resolution manometry (HRM), and impedance-24 h-pH-metry) operated at Medical University of Vienna before 31st December 2017. After a mean follow-up of 5.1 ± 2.3 years, these examinations were repeated. In addition, history of weight, remission of associated medical problems (AMP), and quality of life (QOL) were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 21 patients were included in this study and went through all examinations. Preoperative weight was 124.4 ± 17.3 kg with a BMI of 44.7 ± 5.6 kg/m2, total weight loss after 5.1 ± 2.3 years was 34.4 ± 8.3%. In addition, remission of AMP and QOL outcomes were very satisfactory in this study. In gastroscopy, anastomositis, esophagitis, Barrett´s esophagus, and bile in the pouch were found in: 38.1%, 28.3%, 9.5%, and 42.9%. Results of HRM of the lower esophageal sphincter pressure were 28.0 ± 15.6 mmHg, which are unchanged compared to preoperative values. Nevertheless, in the impedance-24 h-pH-metry, acid exposure time and DeMeester score decreased significantly to 1.2 ± 1.2% (p = 0.004) and 7.5 ± 8.9 (p = 0.017). Further, the total number of refluxes were equal to preoperative; however, the decreased acid refluxes were replaced by non-acid refluxes. CONCLUSION This study has shown decreased rates of acid reflux and increased non-acid reflux after a mid-term outcome of primary OAGB patients. Gastroscopy showed signs of chronic irritation of the gastrojejunostomy, pouch, and distal esophagus, even in asymptomatic patients. Follow-up gastroscopies in OAGB patients after 5 years may be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysphagia and non-cardiac chest pain are common symptoms associated with a novel hypercontractile disorder, namely Jackhammer esophagus (JE). The aim of this study was to explore these symptoms in patients with JE and to elucidate associations with disease defining metrics, crucial for subsequent therapies. METHODS All consecutive patients, who were referred between January 2014 and December 2016 and fulfilled the criteria for JE were included in this study. Exclusion criteria were opioid intake, previous gastrointestinal surgery, mechanical esophageal obstruction and diseases explaining their symptoms. KEY RESULTS Of 2205 examined subjects, thirty patients (females: n = 17, 56.7%) with a median age of 58 (51.6-64.9) years were finally enrolled. Dysphagia was noted in 53.3% (n = 16), whereas non-cardiac chest pain was specified within 40% (n = 12) with symptom duration of up to 10 years. Perception of dysphagia (P = .03) and presence of both symptoms (P = .008) increased to the end of the study period. Dysphagia was significantly associated with distal contractile integral (DCI) scores of all (P = .023), hypercontractile (P = .011) and maximum DCI swallows (P = .008). Symptoms duration influenced hypercontractile DCI scores (P = .015, r = .438) and significantly correlated with the intensity of perceived dysphagia (P = .01, r = .585). Presence of non-cardiac chest pain was not associated with any of these metrics. CONCLUSIONS & INTERFERENCES The DCI mediates dysphagia in patients with JE. Duration of symptoms affected hypercontractile DCI scores and aggravated perception of dysphagia indicating a progressive character of disease.

Abstract
Background Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the premalignant manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with and without endoscopic resection (ER) is a novel treatment for BE. Methods Here we present a single-center update of the recommendations of a recent (June 2015) interdisciplinary expert panel meeting on the management of BE with dysplasia as well as cancer-positive and cancer-negative BE. We conducted a PubMed search of studies published in 2016 and 2017 on the topic of BE and RFA. Results Our update reconfirms that BE positive for T1a cancer as well as low- and high-grade dysplasia justifies the use of RFA ± ER, offering an 80–100% rate of BE clearance. RFA ± ER of dysplastic BE is tenfold more effective for cancer prevention when compared with surveillance. Risk factors for recurrence and follow-up treatments include baseline histopathology (dysplasia/T1a cancer), esophagitis, hiatal hernia >3 cm, smoking habits, BE segments >3 cm, and >10 years of GERD symptoms. A baseline diagnosis for dysplasia and T1a cancer should include a second expert pathologist opinion. Recent data justify the use of RFA for nondysplastic BE only in controlled clinical trials. Antireflux surgery can be offered to those with function-test-proven, GERD-symptom-positive BE before, during, or after RFA ± ER. Additionally, there is growing evidence that the intake of a sugar-rich diet is positively correlated with the development of GERD, BE, and cancer. Conclusion RFA ± ER should be offered for dysplastic BE and T1a cancer after ER as well as for nondysplastic BE with additional risk factors in controlled trials. Antireflux surgery can be offered to patients with function-test-proven GERD-symptom-positive BE. Diet considerations should be included in the management of GERD and BE.

Abstract
Introduction Barrett’s esophagus (BE) represents the premalignant morphology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Evidence indicates a positive correlation between GERD vs. obesity and increased sugar consumption. Methods Here we analyzed recently published data (2006–2017) on the role of dietary sugar intake for BE development (main focus year 2017). Results Recent investigations found a positive association between obesity, hip waist ratio and dietary sugar intake and Barrett’s esophagus. Conclusion Sugar intake positively associates with BE. A low carbohydrate diet should be recommended for persons with BE and GERD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are major health problems showing an inconstant relationship in the literature. Therefore, anthropometric parameters which are predictive and can simply be assessed at first patient presentation may lead to a better patient selection for ambulatory reflux monitoring. We aimed to examine the association of body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) with gastroesophageal reflux activity during 24 hour-pH-impedance monitoring. METHODS Seven hundred and seventy-one patients with GERD symptoms underwent 24 hour-pH-impedance monitoring and high resolution manometry off proton pump inhibitors. Patients with known primary motility disorders of the esophagus and pre-existing endoscopic or operative procedure on esophagus or stomach were excluded from the study. Reflux parameters and anthropometric and demographic data from our prospectively gathered database were analyzed. We performed univariate and multivariate regression analysis to evaluate the associations of BMI and WHR with reflux parameters measured with 24 hour-pH-impedance monitoring. KEY RESULTS WHR showed a significantly stronger association with esophageal acid exposure than BMI (P<.001). Our data show that 6.9% of the percentage of endoluminal pH<4 in the distal esophagus is attributable to WHR. Furthermore, an association of WHR with impaired esophageal acid clearance was observed. Additionally, we observed an inverse relationship between lower esophageal sphincter integrity (P=.05) and esophageal acid exposure. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES WHR is a better predictor for esophageal acid exposure than BMI. Biomechanical and metabolic mechanisms of central fat distribution may influence reflux parameters in 24 hour pH impedance monitoring, which may affect patient selection for ambulatory reflux monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional status and body composition parameters such as sarcopenia are important risk factors for impaired outcome in patients with esophageal cancer. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of sarcopenia on long-term outcome after esophageal resection following neoadjuvant treatment. METHODS Skeletal muscle index (SMI) and body composition parameters were measured in patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer. Endpoints included relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS The study included 130 patients. Sarcopenia was found in 80 patients (61.5%). Patients with squamous-cell cancer (SCC) showed a decreased median SMI of 48 (range 28.4-60.8) cm/m2 compared with that of patients with adenocarcinoma (AC) of 52 (range 34.4-74.2) cm/m2, P < 0.001. The presence of sarcopenia had a significant impact on patient outcome: HR 1.69 (1.04-2.75), P = 0.036. Median OS was 20.5 (7.36-33.64) versus 52.1 (13.55-90.65) months in sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients, respectively. Sarcopenia was identified as an independent risk factor: HR 1.72 (1.049-2.83), P = 0.032. CONCLUSION Our data provide evidence that sarcopenia impacts long-term outcome after esophageal resection in patients who have undergone neoadjuvant therapy. Assessment of the body composition parameter can be a reasonable part of patient selection and may influence treatment methods.

Abstract
AIM The use of a loose seton for complex anal fistulae can cause perianal discomfort and reduced quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the novel knot-free Comfort Drain on quality of life, perianal comfort and faecal continence compared to conventional loose setons. METHOD Forty-four patients treated for complex anal fistula at a single institution between July 2013 and September 2014 were included in the study. A matched-pair analysis was performed to compare patients with a knot-free Comfort Drain and controls who were managed by conventional knotted setons. The 12-item Short Form survey (SF-12) questionnaire was used to assess quality of life. Additionally, patients reported perianal comfort and faecal incontinence using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the St Mark's Incontinence Score. RESULTS The Comfort Drain was associated with improved quality of life with significant higher median physical (P = 0.001) and mental (P = 0.04) health scores compared with a conventional loose seton. According to the VAS, patients with a Comfort Drain in situ reported greater perianal comfort with significantly less burning sensation (P < 0.001) and pruritus (P < 0.001). Faecal continence was similar in each group. CONCLUSION The Comfort Drain offers improved perianal comfort and better quality of life compared with a conventional loose seton and therefore facilitates long-term therapy in patients with complex fistula-in-ano.

Abstract
Barrett's esophagus represents a premalignant condition, which is strongly associated with the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Currently, there are no validated markers to extract exactly that certain patient that will proceed to neoplastic progression. Therefore, therapeutic options have to include a larger population to provide prophylaxis for affected patients. Recently developed endoscopic therapeutic approaches offer treatment options for prevention or even treatment of limited esophageal adenocarcinoma. At present, high eradication rates of intestinal metaplasia as well as dysplasia are observed, whereas low complication rates offer a convenient safety profile. These striking new methods symbolize a changing paradigm in a field, where minimal-invasive tissue ablating methods and tissue preserving techniques have led to modified regimens. This review will focus on current standards and newly emerging methods to treat Barrett's esophagus and its progression to cancer and will highlight their evolution, potential benefits and their limitations.

Abstract
AIM There is growing evidence that stapled anastomoses are similarly effective compared to hand-sewn anastomoses in Crohn's patients. This study was designed to assess safety and limitations of wide-lumen stapled ileocolic anastomoses. METHOD All patients with ileocolic resections for Crohn's disease perfomed between 1998 and 2006 were studied. A stapled anastomosis was constructed whenever possible. Potential risk factors for postoperative complications were recorded, retrospectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS In 209 out of 220 cases (95%, 132 primary operations) stapled anastomoses were performed. Eleven patients underwent a hand-sewn anastomosis owing to massive bowel dilatation (n = 7) or increased wall thickness (n = 4). There were 10 major (4.5%; surgical: 8, medical: 2) complications including two anastomotic leaks and one anastomotic bleed (all from stapled anastomoses) and one death not related to the anastomosis. Minor complications occurred in 25 patients. In multivariate analysis, major surgical postoperative complications were significantly associated with a low level of albumin (P = 0.0113) and previous resections for Crohn's disease (P = 0.0144). CONCLUSION Stapled ileocolic anastomosis was safe in the majority of Crohn's patients. The most important limitation was technical impracticability. A low level of albumin and a history of previous resection increased the risk of postoperative complications.
