Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance (MII): pH Testing
In addition to upper and lower esophageal pH measurements, MII-pH testing allows for detection of esophageal bolus (liquid and air) movements by sensing changes in electrical impedance along the catheter. Classical pH monitoring measures only pH and does not detect nonacid reux or some aerosolized molecules. A detailed discussion is outside the scope of this chapter.
Conclusion
The techniques mentioned above can be very helpful in making the diagnosis of LPR.It is important to emphasize that still a gold standard to identify LPR patients is lacking. Currently, the diag­nosis of LPR requires careful review of symptoms, physical nd­ings, and objective testing, ruling out other competing etiologies.

Introduction
A frequently discussed advantage of upper endoscopy is its diag­nostic and therapeutic potential compared to gastrointestinal imaging studies (i.e., contrast upper gastrointestinal series). An upper endoscopy allows for direct visualization of the foregut mucosa, enables practitioners to obtain biopsy samples, and per­forms endoluminal interventions. Endoscopists must remain vigi­lant when concern exists for postoperative complications. As an example, when a gastrointestinal staple line leak is suspected, a water-soluble upper GI study should be performed as the initial diagnostic test [1]. Air insufation of the foregut may be deleteri­ous in patients that are less than 4weeks postsurgery, as it could convert a small contained leak into a free perforation or disrupt a healing anastomosis. In this setting, carbon dioxide, as opposed to air insufation, should be used as its rapid absorption will prevent persistent dilation of the GI tract.

Periprocedural Recommendations
It is recommended that no food is taken 8hours before the upper endoscopy. Clear liquids can be taken up to 2hours before endos­copy [2]. Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended due to the low risk of infection from this procedure [3]. Pre-endoscopy laboratory and imaging studies should be performed based on individual patient risk factors. The risk of discontinuing antiplatelet therapy and sys­temic anticoagulation must require a case-by-case review [4].
Technical Considerations
To safely and successfully perform an upper endoscopy in a bar­iatric surgery patient, it is imperative to be familiar with the patient’s operative reports, postoperative imaging, and select the appropriate equipment required to complete the procedure [5]. Proper equipment, including the choice of the endoscope, will depend on the patient’s surgical history. In patients that previously underwent restrictive procedures, a standard adult gastroscope is sufcient. A balloon-assisted enteroscope or pediatric colono­scope may become handy in those requiring evaluation of jejuno­jejunal anastomosis, retrograde evaluation of the biliopancreatic limb, or bypassed stomach [6]. Balloon-assisted enteroscopy uses a balloon attached to an over the tube to allow for a more distal assessment of the gastrointestinal tract in patients who have undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with long (150cm) Roux limb [7]. Regardless of the endoscopic technique, the endoscopist must be familiar with the prior operative reports to appreciate the possible variation in postsurgical anatomy.
Sedation
In most instances, periprocedural sedation requires conscious sedation or monitored anesthesia care (MAC). That being said, a patient with high body mass index (BMI) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) might require endotracheal intubation under general

anesthesia as it becomes much more challenging to proceed with the procedure otherwise. In a study of patients undergoing advanced endoscopic procedures, higher BMI patients had an increased frequency of sedation-related complications, including apnea, oxygen desaturations, and airway obstructions [810]. Such a statement should be taken into consideration when select­ing ofce versus hospital-based endoscopy to minimize any peri­procedural risks.
Conscious sedation is frequently performed using a combina­tion of narcotic analgesia and benzodiazepine sedatives under the surgeon or gastroenterologist’s direction performing the proce­dure. In a study comparing obese patients that have undergone RYGB and those who have not, postsurgical patients required more sedation, possibly from improved liver function post-op [11]. The involvement of the anesthesia team might become vital in the context of complex cases. A major advantage of conscious sedation is that patients are sedated yet still able to follow com­mands during the procedure. Alternatively, MAC anesthesia is performed under the direct care of an anesthesiologist or Certied Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) supervised by an anesthe­siologist.
The patient’s sedation is titrated to a level that preserves spon­taneous breathing and airway reexes [10]. Patients undergoing MAC anesthesia are unconscious but still breathing without the assistance of a ventilator. The safety of conscious sedation in bar­iatric surgery patients with metabolic syndrome has been chal­lenged before. Nonetheless, one study of 1385 patients reported a cardiopulmonary event rate during conscious sedation of 0.6% in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients [11], which is similar to 0.9% described in the general population [11, 12].

Procedural Technique
Pre- or postbariatric surgery upper endoscopy is frequently per­formed in the outpatient setting. The choice of anesthesia is dic­tated by the patient’s clinical characteristics and the operator’s experience level.

Upper endoscopy begins with passage of the endoscope through the mouth into the oropharynx to evaluate for upper esophageal abnormalities. Next the endoscope is advanced down the esophagus to the esophagogastric junction to evaluate the squamocolumnar junction or Z-line. Biopsies may be taken through cold or hot forceps to evaluate for any mucosal abnor­malities (i.e., Barrett’s esophagus and distal esophagitis). Next, the scope is passed into the stomach and retroexed to look for a hiatal hernia. From this point, it all depends on whether the patient has or has not had weight loss surgery yet. It also depends on the layout of the Foregut anatomy. The rest of the stomach is examined as well as the gastrojejunal anastomosis or the duode­num depending on the patient’s surgery. Biopsies, mucosal brushings, and cultures may be taken throughout the procedure. Any adjunct to the procedure depends on the indication(s) of the intervention and the goals yet to be achieved. More details on those technical aspects are detailed along the subsequent sec­tions of the chapter.

Timing ofEndoscopy Evaluation intheBariatric Patient
The Preoperative Period
It is well accepted and endorsed that patients with symptomatic gastroesophageal reux disease (GERD) or a history of chronic upper gastrointestinal complaints should have an upper GI endoscopy before undertaking the planned bariatric procedure [13, 14]. However, routine preoperative endoscopic evaluation of all bariatric patients remains controversial [15, 16]. Multiple studies have reported the routine use of preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with variable incidence of ndings of clinically relevant abnormalities such as hiatal her­nia, esophagitis, Barrett’s esophagus, esophageal dysplasia, duodenitis, ulcers, and tumors [15, 17, 18]. On the other hand, a large study reported that over half of the patients were found to
16 Endoscopic Evaluation oftheBariatric Surgery Patient
https://t.me/medicina_free
be harboring endoscopically signicant ndings while remain­ing clinically asymptomatic [17]. Such results delayed or altered the planned surgical procedure in 1.7–7.6% of the patients [15,
17, 18].
Evidence of reux esophagitis and hiatal hernia is more con­cerning if a vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is planned as these ndings are relative contraindications due to the increased risk of developing de novo GERD.Several studies have shown incidence variability in the development of de novo GERD, Barrett’s esoph­agus, erosive esophagitis, as well as the increased use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) after VSG [19, 20]. If a hiatal hernia is discovered at the time of the endoscopy, the repair is highly rec­ommended at the time of the weight loss surgery [21].
The most recent recommendations by the Standards of Practice Committee of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) along with the Society of Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) were published in
2015. The recommendation to perform preoperative screening endoscopy should be individualized based on patient need, symp­tomatology, discussion with the surgeon, and type of procedure to be performed [22].
219
The Intraoperative Period
The intraoperative use of endoscopy remains controversial, with some surgeons making it mandatory. It is used primarily to test for intraoperative gastrointestinal staple line leak, evaluate the anat­omy outlook during revisional procedures, identify and control bleeding, and access surgical lumen and anastomosis diameter [23]. Upon researching the surgical literature, two studies assess­ing the value of the routine application of intraoperative endos­copy at the time of bariatric surgery identied abnormalities such as staple and suture line leaks and other technical errors that were promptly corrected. Luckily, the incidence of such ndings was very low [24, 25].

The Postoperative Period
Endoscopy is not the rst line of assessment in the postoperative period. It remains indicated when other non-invasive testings have remained inconclusive in the evaluation of persistent nausea, vomiting, intolerance to oral intake, and new epigastric pain [1]. There are a number of etiologies behind such symptoms. While some could be managed expectantly along with counseling and behavioral modications, others might require surgical or endo­scopic intervention.
GERD
Postoperative GERD is not uncommon after certain bariatric pro­cedures. As related earlier, reux symptoms and the development of de novo GERD are more prevalent after VSG.On the other hand, the RYGB has proven to be an excellent surgical indication for GERD treatment in patients who also suffer from obesity [26,
27]. Postoperative GERD symptoms should rst be managed
medically for an extended period of time [28]. Weight loss alone could potentially reduce or ablate the complaints [29]. If medical management fails, endoscopy could be considered to investigate for any anatomical abnormalities such as severe gastrojejunal anastomotic stricture or gastrogastric stula after RYGB, and twisted gastric tube after VSG [22].
Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB) Slippage andErosion
AGB slippage and erosion into the gastric lumen can be assessed endoscopically (it could also be suspected through contrast imag­ing studies). A meta-analysis of 19 studies and 500 patients recently estimated the rates of slippage and erosion to be 5% and 1%, respectively [30]. Band erosion may cause an array of symp­toms (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, port site infection, increased food intake with weight gain, and GI bleeding), or it may remain asymptomatic [31]. If any portion of the band is seen on endoscopy, the surgeon needs to be consulted for further man­agement [22]. Similarly, band slippage can cause abdominal pain, weight gain, reux symptoms, or dysphagia. Acute band slippage

can lead to life-threatening gastric necrosis and require a prompt surgical correction [32, 33].
221
Marginal Ulcers
Marginal ulcers typically occur after RYGB surgery with an inci­dence of 0.6–36% [3436]. Patients may present with abdominal pain, bleeding, and nausea or could potentially be asymptomatic. The ulcers are usually on the intestinal side and believed to be due to many possible mechanisms (i.e., local ischemia, acidic effects on the intestinal mucosa, staple line disruption, and exposed sta­ple or suture material on the intraluminal side) [37]. Other factors include the presence of a gastrogastric stula, H pylori infection, smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, excessive gastric pouch length, and chronic use of NSAIDs or corticosteroids [34, 36, 37]. Marginal ulcers are rst treated medically with acid reduction and cytoprotective agents. Refractory ulceration will require revi­sional surgery [38].
Gastric Leak andFistulae
Gastric leaks and gastric stulae have an incidence of 1–6% in weight loss surgery patients and can result in enterocutaneous s­tula, peritonitis, abscess, sepsis, organ failure, and death [3943]. Leaks after RYGB most commonly occur at the gastrojejunal anastomosis. Jejunojejunal leaks, though exceedingly rare, can occur and may require reoperation [44]. After VSG, leaks typi­cally occur along the very proximal staple line and most com­monly at the proximal one-third of the greater curvature of the staple line [45]. Diagnosis is usually made with an upper GI con­trast study or CT.However, early endoscopy can be performed if there is diagnostic uncertainty or for endoscopic intervention [46,
47]. The injection of brin glue, application of clips, placement of
self-expandable metal stents (SEMS), or insertion of the pigtail catheter are all handy tools to manage such leaks [48, 49]. Gastric stulae can also be treated endoscopically using brin glue [50,
51] or SEMS [5254]. These patients may eventually need surgi-
cal closure of the stula as endoscopic interventions typically serve as a bridge to denitive management [55].

Anastomotic Strictures
Gastrojejunal anastomotic strictures, dened as anastomoses less than 10mm in diameter (accepted normal diameter is 14–16mm), are not uncommon complications of the RYGB.Such complica­tion triggers nausea, vomiting, and or dysphagia. A stricture can be diagnosed with an upper GI contrast study but endoscopy is preferred as it is both diagnostic and therapeutic [56].
Anastomotic strictures can be dilated endoscopically with either through-the-balloon dilators or wire-guided bougie dilators [57, 58]. These should be serially dilated over multiple sessions to prevent perforation [59]. There is debate over dilating the stoma to >15mm due to concern of weight regain. However, one study noted the reduced need for repeat dilation and no association with weight regain [58].
One important consideration in RYGB patients is whether the Roux limb was delivered in antecolic or retrocolic fashion. A tight tunnel created through the transverse colon mesentery can cause narrowing of the Roux limb and subsequent obstruction [60]. On endoscopy, there will be a normal gastrojejunal anastomosis with dilated jejunum distally until the point where the Roux limb tra­verses the mesocolon. Dilation at this point is not advised given a high risk for perforation [61].
Short-segment gastric lumen stenosis after VSG can be treated endoscopically. However, long-segment stenosis may require sur­gical intervention, such as seromyotomy or revision to gastric bypass [62].
Foreign Body andBezoars
Lodged foreign material and bezoars can be diagnosed and retrieved endoscopically. Foreign material includes staple and suture material that can contribute to marginal ulcers, stomal ste­nosis, abdominal pain, and dysphagia [63, 64]. These should be removed once the gastrojejunal anastomosis has matured. Food bezoars usually occur after AGB [65, 66], but can occur after RYGB within the gastric pouch or at the jejunojejunal anastomo­sis [6769]. These can be removed endoscopically after fragmen­tation [70].
