Remnant Gastrectomy and Gastric Bypass: A Systematic Review of Indications and Outcomes of Resectional Gastric Bypass. Obes Surg 2024; 34:2634-2649. [PMID: 38735966 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07240-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In this systematic review, we aim to evaluate the reasons and outcomes behind remnant gastrectomy with or after gastric bypass procedures. RESULTS A total of 66 studies examining 1918 patients were included in this study with 70% of female predominance. Twenty studies reported RGB on 1751 patients and 46 studies reported remnant gastrectomy after gastric bypass in 167 patients. The most common etiology of RGB was related to the in situ remnant stomach neoplasia in 10 studies on 981 patients; mostly for preventive intentions in high prevalence areas. Remnant gastrectomy after gastric bypass was performed to treat a complication such as GGF, retrograde bile reflux gastritis, cancer mostly adenocarcinoma. Studies revealed that RGB has similar weight loss in comparison to standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Abstract
Bariatric bypass surgery has been an effective treatment for morbid obesity. However, there is an increasing number of reported cases of gastric cancer after bypass surgery. Our systematic review showed an increasing trend of gastric cancer cases after bariatric bypass surgery in the last decade, mostly located in the excluded stomach (77%) and diagnosed in an advanced stage. In addition to known risk factors such as tobacco smoking (17%), H. pylori infection (6%), and family history of gastric cancer (3%), bile reflux, a recently proposed cancer-promoting factor, was also estimated in 18% of the cases. Our data suggest that gastric cancer risk assessment should be considered before gastric bypass surgery, and further investigations are needed to determine the value of post-operative gastric cancer surveillance.

Abstract
Obesity is known to be epidemiologically associated with malignancy. Although there is an increasing global number of bariatric surgeries, the relationship between bariatric surgery and esophagogastric cancers is not well understood. Diagnosis of esophagogastric cancers following bariatric surgery is challenging because the presentation tends to be nonspecific and may be perceived as usual postoperative symptoms in bariatric patients. Therefore, the early diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. In addition, endoscopic investigation of the excluded stomach after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or a one-anastomosis gastric bypass is technically challenging, which further complicates the diagnosis. The aim of this study is to review the current evidence in the literature on esophagogastric cancers following bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has been covered by medical insurance in Korea, since January 2019; and its number is steadily increasing. Representative bariatric surgeries include adjustable gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Each surgical method can be applied according to the patient's condition; however, there are other issues to consider in Korea. Because of the high incidence of gastric cancer in Korea, gastroscopy is recommended every two years after the age of 40. Therefore, it is difficult to perform conventional gastroscopy after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. In this review, the incidence of gastric cancer after representative bariatric surgery was investigated through a literature review, so that it could be used as a reference for the selection of bariatric surgery in Korea.

Abstract
Data comparing the occurrence of gastroesophageal cancer after gastric bypass procedures are lacking and are only available in the form of case reports. We perform in this study a systematic review and a meta-analysis of all the reported cases of gastroesophageal cancer following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and loop gastric bypass-one anastomosis gastric bypass/mini gastric bypass (LGB-OAGB/MGB). We conducted a systematic review of all the reported cases in articles referenced in PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, and Scholar Google. Only cases of gastro-esophageal adenocarcinoma following RYGB or LGB-OAGB/MGB are included. Statistical analysis was done accordingly. Fifty cases were identified, along with 2 reported in this paper. Sixty-one percent (27/44) of the cancers after RYGB were in the gastric tube compared to 37.5% (3/8) after LGB-OAGB/MGB. This resulted in an odds ratio of 0.38 (p-value = 0.26), which failed to prove an increase in cancer occurrence in the gastric tube after LGB-MGB/OAGB compared to RYGB. The most common symptoms were dysphagia for cancers occurring in the gastric tube (15/30) and abdominal pain for those occurring in the excluded stomach (10/22). Twenty-nine/thirty of the cancers in the gastric tube were diagnosed by gastroscopy and 13/22 of the cancers in the excluded stomach were diagnosed by CT scan. Gastroesophageal cancers after gastric bypass procedures occur commonly in the excluded stomach where many are not identified by conventional means. Physician awareness and patient education as well as lifelong follow-up are essential for maintaining bypass surgeries on the beneficial side.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most commonly performed procedures for surgical weight loss. It has been shown that overweight may be associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. However, the risk of remnant gastric cancer after RYGB has not been defined yet and the development of neoplasm in the excluded stomach remains a matter of concern. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were consulted. Articles that described the diagnosis and management of remnant gastric cancer after RYGB were considered. RESULTS Seventeen patients were included. The age of the patient population ranged from 38 to 71 years. The most commonly reported symptoms were abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, and anemia. Abdominal computed tomography was used for diagnosis in the majority of patients. The neoplasm was located in the antrum/pre-pyloric region in 70% of cases and adenocarcinoma was the most common tumor histology (80%). An advanced tumor stage (III-IV) was diagnosed in almost 70% of patients and 40% were considered unresectable. Gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy was performed in 9 cases (53%). Post-operative morbidity was 12%. The follow-up ranged from 3 to 26 months and the overall disease-related mortality rate was 33.3%. CONCLUSION The development of remnant gastric cancer after RYGB is rare. Surgeons should be aware of this potential event and the new onset of epigastric pain, nausea, and anemia should raise clinical suspicion. Further epidemiologic studies are warranted to deeply investigate the post-RYGB-related risk of remnant gastric cancer development in high-risk populations.

Abstract
The association between obesity and malignancies has been identified epidemiologically. Meanwhile, the increasing global number of bariatric surgeries is reported annually; bariatric surgery's effect on different types of cancers is not well understood. Unfortunately, nonspecific presentations and difficulties regarding investigations make diagnosis challenging. The aim of this study is to compile available data about gastro-intestinal (GI) cancers, occurring after different bariatric surgeries. Although GI cancers are considered a rare complication of obesity surgery, they do exist, and diagnosis needs a high index of suspicion.

Abstract
An adequate preoperative workup is critical for the success of bariatric surgery. A key component of the preoperative evaluation involves a comprehensive patient education about surgical outcomes and the postoperative behavioral regimen required. A complete medical evaluation should include the study of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal systems as well as a metabolic status assessment. The nutrition professional should be in charge of the nutritional assessment, preoperative weight loss efforts, and diet education regarding postoperative eating behaviors. A psychological evaluation is also needed because psychosocial factors have a significant impact on the long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery, including adherence to recommended postoperative lifestyle regimen, emotional adjustment, and weight loss outcomes. We recommend preoperative abdominal ultrasound to assess for biliary tract pathology, steatosis, fibrosis, and presence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. A routine preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy is also recommended to evaluate common gastrointestinal disorders associated with obesity. Preoperative weight loss should be strongly encouraged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) without resection of the distal stomach is largely performed over the world for morbid obesity. Potential risk of gastric remnant carcinoma development has been suggested. PURPOSE To present the results obtained after LRYGB with resection of distal stomach. METHOD This prospective study includes 400 consecutive patients. The mean body weight was 105.9 ± 16.8 Kg (range 83-145 kg), and body mass index (BMI) was 38.5 ± 4.4 kg/m2 (32.9-50.3). Postoperative morbid-mortality and follow-up were analyzed. RESULTS Operative time was 128.5 ± 18.7 min, hospital discharge occurred at 3rd postoperative day, postoperative complications occurred in 9.25%, early surgical complications were observed in 3% and medical complications 4%, late surgical complications occurred 2.25%, no mortality was observed. At 1 year follow-up, BMI was 25.3 ± 2.7 kg/m2 with % of weight loss (%WL) of 84.6 + 19.1%. At five years follow-up very similar values were observed. CONCLUSION The results obtained after LRYGB with resection of distal stomach are similar to results published after non resection LRYGB regarding early and late results and can be indicated in high risk areas of gastric carcinoma.

Abstract
Gastric cancer in the excluded stomach after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a rare finding and most reported diagnoses are made via surgery. Endoscopic access to the excluded stomach is difficult, even with balloon-assisted enteroscopy. We present the case of a 74-year-old woman with malignant gastric outlet obstruction of the excluded stomach, 41 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Minimally invasive access to the excluded stomach was obtained by placement of a percutaneous gastrostomy tube, followed by insertion of a pediatric gastroscope through the gastrostomy tube tract. This novel approach provides minimally invasive access to the excluded stomach in patients with high suspicion of pathology in the excluded stomach, when balloon-assisted enteroscopy is not technically feasible or available.
