Abstract | dc.description.abstract | Background: Obesity is an important risk for pathological
gastroesophageal reflux. Aim: To assess the effects of gastric bypass on obese subjects with erosive
esophagitis. Patients and methods: Sixty two morbid obese subjects (aged 16 to 70 years, 41
females) with erosive esophagitis at the moment of surgery were studied. These patients were
subjected to a gastric bypass with gastric resection. They were followed with upper gastrointestinal
endoscopy every one year, looking for the presence of erosions or ulcers in the distal esophagus.
Results: The mean follow up period was 21 months. Prior to surgery all patients had heartburn or
regurgitation and at two years after surgery, 97% were asymptomatic. Esophagitis was found in
97 and 6.5% before and after surgery, respectively. Two patients had an esophageal ulcer, that
healed on follow up endoscopy. There was a 72% reduction of overweight on late follow up.
Conclusions: Gastric bypass is effective to control pathological gastroesophageal reflux in patients
with morbid obesity. | en |
