Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease After Sleeve Gastrectomy

The Perfect Sleeve Gastrectomy

Abstract

Despite all advantages of sleeve gastrectomy (SG), there is increasing evidence that the long-term occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) represents Achilles’ heel of this procedure.

The quality of studies available in the literature concerning the impact of SG on postoperative GERD is moderate, mainly due to a relative lack of prospective studies and the use of symptom reporting and retrospective chart analysis instead of standardized questionnaires. Some studies report changes in endoscopic features, but only a minority objectively analyzed patients by esophageal manometry and 24-h pH monitoring. Nevertheless, all recent studies with more than 5-year follow-up are concordant in showing an increase in GERD prevalence after SG, related both to the worsening of preoperative GERD and the appearance of de novo GERD. In particular, a few studies have shown an alarming BE prevalence of 15–18.8% at 5–10-year follow-up. Therefore, the policy of adopting systematic endoscopic exploration long term after SG seems to be judicious and appropriate especially in young patients.
