Abstract

Background: The relationship between obesity and gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) risk has been well established. Many authors suggest performing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) in all patients before bariatric procedures. On the other hand, many other investigators advocate a selective approach for asymptomatic patients. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is considered by most experts the procedure of choice for the management of GERD in obese patients; however, the effect of LSG on GERD is still unclear. Objective: To identify presences or absences of GERD in patients undergoing different types of bariatric surgery and the effect of this surgery on GERD status post operatively. Patients and Methods: This study included forty successive morbidly obese patients who present to Surgery Department of Al-Azhar University Hospitals seeking for bariatric surgery, during the period from January 2018 to April 2020. Seventeen (42.5%) of the patients were males, while twenty-three (57.5%) were females. Upper endoscopy was performed preoperatively in all cases. Full history, physical examination and special investigations were taking, Patients was classified into laparoscopic sleeve gastrostomy (LSG) group (14 cases), laparoscopic greater curvature gastric plication (LGCGP) group, (3 cases), LRYGB group, (19 cases), and laparoscopic mini gastric bypass (LMGB) group, (4 case). OGD was done preoperatively in all patient and yearly postoperatively for two successive year. Result: In LSG group (14 cases), post-operatively with follow up by OGD, there was five cases (35.7%) have GERD sings and the rest of cases, nine cases (64.3%) have normal esophageal mucosa. In LRYGB group, all patients have normal esophageal mucosa after operation. In LGCGP group, three cases, post-operatively with follow up by OGD, there was one case (33.3%) have GERD signs, and the rest of cases, two cases (66.7%) have normal esophageal mucosa. In LMGB group, two case 50% improved in the 2nd year, one (25%) improved from the 1st year, and one case (25%) has increased GERD symptoms, signs, and biliary reflux. Conclusion: OGD should be done before bariatric procedures routinely or selectively, Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) was considered the procedure of choice for the management of GERD in obese patients, However LSG still unclear on obese patient with GERD.
