Post-operative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains a significant morbidity following sleeve gastrectomy (SG). We aim to evaluate the incidence and impact within a single center experience.
A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database was performed identifying laparoscopic or robotic SG patients. Primary outcomes included weight loss, rates of post-operative GERD (de-novo or aggravated), and re-intervention. Subgroup analysis was performed between patients with (Group 1) and without (Group 2) post-operative GERD. De-novo GERD and aggravated was defined as persistent GERD complaints or new/increased PPI usage in GERD naive or prior GERD patients, respectively.
392 patients were identified between 2014 and 2019. Average demographics: age 42.3 (18-84) years, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) 1.12 (0-10), and body mass index (BMI) 47.7 (28-100). 98% were performed laparoscopically. Average excess weight loss (EWL) was 51.0% and 46.4% at 1 and 2 years post-operatively. Average follow up was 516 (6-2694) days. 69 (17%) patients developed post operative de-novo or aggravated GERD. Group 1 had significantly higher EWL at 9 months (57% vs 47%, p 0.003). 13 (3%) patients required operative re-intervention for GERD and other morbidities: 4 RYGB conversions, 4 diagnostic laparoscopies, 3 HHR, 1 MSA placement. Group 1 had higher rates of post-operative intervention (14% vs 1%, p 0.0001). Subanalysis demonstrated that Group 1 had elevated preoperative DeMeester scores on pH testing (34.8 vs 18.9, p 0.03). De-novo GERD had an elevated post-operative total acid exposure when compared to aggravated GERD (12.7% vs 7.0% p 0.03). No significant differences were found between preoperative endoscopy findings, pre and postoperative total acid exposure, post-operative DeMeester scores, and high-resolution manometry values regarding de-novo/aggravated GERD development.
Preoperative DeMeester scores may serve as risk indicators regarding post-operative GERD. Outcomes such as reintervention remain elevated in post-operative GERD patients.
胃食管反流病(GERD)仍是袖状胃切除术(SG)后一种严重的发病情况。我们旨在评估单一中心经验中的发病率及其影响。
对前瞻性维护的数据库进行回顾性分析,确定接受腹腔镜或机器人辅助SG的患者。主要结局包括体重减轻、术后GERD(新发或加重)发生率以及再次干预情况。对有(第1组)和无(第2组)术后GERD的患者进行亚组分析。新发GERD和GERD加重分别定义为在无GERD病史或既往有GERD病史的患者中持续出现GERD症状或新使用/增加质子泵抑制剂(PPI)的用量。
2014年至2019年期间共确定392例患者。平均人口统计学特征:年龄42.3(18 - 84)岁,查尔森合并症指数(CCI)1.12(0 - 10),体重指数(BMI)47.7(28 - 100)。98%的手术为腹腔镜手术。术后1年和2年的平均超重减轻(EWL)分别为51.0%和%。平均随访时间为516(6 - 2694)天。69(17%)例患者发生术后新发或GERD加重。第1组在9个月时的EWL显著更高(57%对47%,p = 0.003)。13(3%)例患者因GERD和其他疾病需要再次手术干预:4例转为Roux-en-Y胃旁路术(RYGB),4例诊断性腹腔镜检查,3例高选择性迷走神经切断术(HHR),1例放置磁珠辅助胃减容装置(MSA)。第1组的术后干预率更高(14%对1%,p = 0.0001)。亚组分析表明,第1组术前pH测试的DeMeester评分升高(34.8对18.9,p = 0.03)。与GERD加重相比,新发GERD术后总酸暴露升高(12.7%对7.0%,p = 0.03)。在术前内镜检查结果、术前和术后总酸暴露、术后DeMeester评分以及关于新发/加重GERD发生的高分辨率测压值方面未发现显著差异。
术前DeMeester评分可作为术后GERD的风险指标。在术后GERD患者中,再次干预等结局仍然较高。
