A Case of Gastroesophageal Cancer after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Keyword(s):
Gastric cancer has been reported in relatively few cases after sleeve gastrectomy, which has become a common bariatric procedure. In this paper, we present a 58-year-old woman diagnosed with gastric cancer by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) 4 years after sleeve gastrectomy. For that, she underwent distal esophagectomy and total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. Preoperative endoscopy is recommended before planning surgery in patients with gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. In addition, annual EGD should be considered after sleeve gastrectomy in patients with risk factors for gastric cancer.
