- Title
Alarmists at the Gates: Esophageal Adenocarcinoma after Sleeve Gastrectomy is Not Different than with Other Bariatric/Metabolic Surgeries.
- Authors
Gagner, Michel
- Abstract
The risk of esophageal cancer after obesity surgery also was compared with the risk in obese individuals who did not undergo obesity surgery. The few papers on high incidence of Barrett's after sleeve gastrectomy with the purported dangers of esophageal carcinoma are reminiscent of 2 previous scare tactics seen 30 years ago in laparoscopy [[1]]. Further, esophago-gastric cancers after bariatric surgery have mainly been seen in other interventions than sleeve gastrectomy, more recently the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma had been numbered to be 8 × more frequent in gastric bypass than in sleeve gastrectomy [[24]].
