    Upper endoscopy is effective for diagnosing and treating complications after gastrointestinal surgery. This study reviewed 617 procedures, finding gastritis common and highlighting endoscopy

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Endoscopy

    Background:

    • A significant portion of upper endoscopy procedures are performed on patients with a history of upper gastrointestinal tract surgery.
    • Common presenting symptoms include pain, nausea, and vomiting, often with multiple complaints.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the utility of upper endoscopy in evaluating patients post-gastrointestinal surgery.
    • To assess the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopy compared to X-ray in this patient population.
    • To evaluate the therapeutic applications of endoscopy in managing surgical complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 617 upper endoscopy examinations in 400 patients who had undergone upper gastrointestinal tract surgery.
    • Analysis of endoscopic findings, including gastritis and mucosal pathology.

  • Comparison of endoscopic findings with radiological (X-ray) assessments.

    • Main Results:

    • Gastritis was the most frequent endoscopic finding (32%), with 89% histologic confirmation.
    • 39% of patients had two or more coexisting mucosal abnormalities.
    • X-ray accuracy was only 30%, with a 46% false-negative rate.
    • Endoscopy successfully identified bezoars and intraluminal sutures, enabling therapeutic intervention.
    • Endoscopy evaluated highly selective vagotomy, showing 96% ulcer healing and 93% active antral-pyloric function.

    Conclusions:

    • Upper endoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and managing complications in patients with prior upper gastrointestinal surgery.
    • Endoscopy offers superior diagnostic accuracy compared to X-ray and provides therapeutic options.
    • Endoscopic evaluation is effective in assessing surgical outcomes, such as highly selective vagotomy.
