| Core Tip |
This retrospective single-center observational study investigates the prevalence of esophageal disorders five-years post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in a Saudi Arabian population. The study reveals a significant increase in gastroesophageal reflux disease from 16% to 64%, with 54% being de novo cases, and endoscopic esophagitis rising to 30%. While Barrett’s esophagus (BE) remains rare (2.6%), the findings highlight the need for long-term endoscopic surveillance, particularly for older patients and those with hypertension. This research provides critical insights into the post-LSG risks of esophageal disorders in a region with traditionally low BE prevalence. |
