Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding: an Underestimated Risk Factor for the Development of Esophageal Cancer?—a Nationwide Survey

Abstract: Background Approximately 14% of Austria's 8.5 million inhabitants have a body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m 2. The laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) was introduced in Austria in 1994, where about 10.300 patients have received it so far. One of our LAGB patients developed an adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus 13 years after implantation. Objectives In order to calculate whether after LAGB patients are at higher risk for carcinoma of the esophagus, we performed a nationwide survey. Methods A questi… Show more

“…Performing endoscopic examination in the remnant stomach is difficult, particularly in RYGB, and some cases of advanced gastric cancer have been reported [ 6 ]. Banding of the stomach has been reported to cause reflux and stagnation of gastric contents and to be associated with Barrett's esophagus and a risk of esophageal cancer [ 7 ]. In some cases, edema, inflammation, and ulceration can be observed in the gastric mucosa below the band formation, accompanied by edema and dysplasia [ 8 ].…”
