FUB-B: Long-term Adverse Effects After Bariatric Surgery on Oesophagus Epithelium
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this trial is to examine long-term effects of laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on oesophageal symptoms and disease, including the presence of Barrett oesophagus ≥ 5 years post-surgery.

Detailed Description
Bariatric surgery shows impressive results in terms of weight loss and resolution of comorbidities. Still, there are questions as to the frequency of long-term adverse effects: the prevalence and causes of post-operative swallowing disorders and reflux disease are uncertain. Recently, independent study groups described a high incidence of Barrett oesophagus post LSG. Additional research is urgently needed.
The goal of this trial is to examine long-term effects of laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on oesophageal symptoms and disease, including the presence of Barrett oesophagus ≥ 5 years post-surgery.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Gastric Bypass A gastroscopy will be carried out to document the presence of inflammation and metaplasia in patients after an average of 5 years after laparoscopic gastric bypass |
Diagnostic Test: Gastroscopy
in both arms intervention 'gastroscopy' will be carried out
|
Active Comparator: Sleeve Gastrectomy A gastroscopy will be carried out to document the presence of inflammation and metaplasia in patients after an average of 5 years after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy |
Diagnostic Test: Gastroscopy
in both arms intervention 'gastroscopy' will be carried out

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of Barrett oesophagus after bariatric surgery [5-7 years after bariatric surgery]
incidence of Barrett oesophagus will be compared to will be compared to reference for this age
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Prevalence of dysphagia after bariatric surgery [5-7 years after bariatric surgery]
Prevalence of dysphagia will be compared to will be compared to reference for this age
- Prevalence of oesophageal motility disorders after bariatric surgery [5-7 years after bariatric surgery]
Prevalence of oesophageal motility will be compared to will be compared to reference for this age
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients who received laparoscopic gastric bypass or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy ≥ 5 years ago as a primary bariatric procedure will be eligible for this study.
Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who received laparoscopic gastric bypass or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as a secondary bariatric procedure (e.g. after gastric banding),
-
Patients who received a secondary bariatric operation after laparoscopic gastric bypass or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy( e.g. biliopancreatic diversion)
