Routine Use of Esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) in Bariatric Surgery—an International Survey of Our Current Practice
2022
Overview
Introduction
The role of esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) in bariatric surgery has been widely discussed. In 2020, the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) issued recommendations on the routine use of EGD before and after bariatric surgery. However, little is known of our current practice and the guidance uptake.
Methods
We conducted an international survey assessing bariatric surgeons’ practice on the use of EGD. The survey aimed to identify whether surgeons offer EGD in the following settings: pre-operative, post-operative at 1 year, every 2–3 years following longitudinal sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results
Among 121 respondents, 72% are aware of the IFSO recommendations. The commonly performed bariatric procedures were LSG, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and OAGB. 53.7% surgeons routinely offer pre-operative EGD and 14.3% routinely offer post-operative EGD for bariatric patients at 1 year after surgery. Majority do not routinely offer EGD after LSG (74.8%) or OAGB (79.7%) every 2–3 years as proposed by IFSO.
Conclusion
The uptake of IFSO recommendation is variable according to each recommendation with better compliance among surgeons with regard to pre-operative EGD. Further research is necessary to develop robust evidence-base for the role of endoscopy after bariatric surgery with the inclusion of patient and public involvement.
