Popis: Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most common bariatric operation with over 340,000 procedures per year. There are only few studies presenting follow-up results >10 years in the literature today. The aim of this study was the objective evaluation of long-term outcomes of at least 15 years after SG in non-converted patients. Methods: This study (multicenter cross-sectional; university-hospital based) includes all non-converted patients with primary SG before December 2005 at participating bariatric centers. The following methods were used: gastroscopy, esophageal manometry, 24-h pH-metry, and Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI). Results: After removing converted patients, patients with bariatric procedures before SG, and deceased patients from the cohort, 20 of 53 participants have met the inclusion criteria. Of this group, 55% are suffering from symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); 45% are without GERD. Esophagitis, hiatal hernias, Barrett’s esophagus, and enlarged sleeves were found in 44%, 50%, 13%, and 69% of patients during gastroscopy. Mean lower esophageal sphincter pressure was normal at 20.2 ± 14.1 mm Hg during manometry. Reflux activity in 24 h, number of refluxes, and DeMeester score were increased at 12.9 ± 9.7%, 98.0 ± 80.8, and 55.3 ± 36.3 during 24-h pH-metry. Patients with GERD scored significantly lower in the GIQLI than patients without GERD: 107.6 ± 18.4 versus 127.6 ± 14.4 (p = 0.04). Discussion/Conclusion: Fifteen years after primary SG, objective testing has shown that GERD, esophagitis, and Barrett’s esophagus are major issues for these patients. Surveillance endoscopies at 5-year intervals in all SG patients and 3-year intervals in patients with Barrett’s esophagus are recommended.
