Abstract

was 3%, while hiatus hernia was observed in 15% and endoscopic esophagitis was present in 30% of cases with symptomatic GERD in 58%. Conclusion: Our study contributes valuable insights into GERD-related complications after LSG in a high-incidence obesity and low-incidence BE region. Although the observed 3% prevalence of BE 5 years post LSG is lower than what has been reported in Western studies, vigilance remains crucial, given that BE is a precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma. Continued research will re fi ne our understanding and guide evidence-based practices for patient care.
