“…The procedure was performed on an outpatient basis in 10 of these studies (91%), unless the patients were already hospitalized 8 or needed hospital admission due to intolerance of solids or liquids 3 or dehydration 23 . In one study, the procedures took place in hospital due to dehydration 19 .…”

“…The use of other types of balloon such as angioplasty-type polyethylene balloon catheters 30 , polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene balloons 20 , and pneumatic balloons 26 was also reported. One study did not state the type or diameter of dilator used 23 . Savary-Gilliard bougies ranged in diameter from 5 mm to 20 millimeters, and balloons ranged in diameter from 6 mm to 25 mm.…”

-Introduction -Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may result in stenosis of the gastrojejunal anastomosis. There is currently no well-defined management protocol for this complication. Aim -Through systematic review, to analyze the results of endoscopic dilation in patients with stenosis, including complication and success rates. Methods -The PubMed database was searched for relevant studies published each year from 1988 to 2010, and 23 studies were identified for analysis. Only papers describing the treatment of anastomotic stricture after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were included, and case reports featuring less than three patients were excluded. Results -The mean age of the trial populations was 42.3 years and mean preoperative body mass index was 48.8 kg/m². A total of 1,298 procedures were undertaken in 760 patients (81% female), performing 1.7 dilations per patient. Through-the-scope balloons were used in 16 studies (69.5%) and Savary-Gilliard bougies in four. Only 2% of patients required surgical revision after dilation; the reported complication rate was 2.5% (n=19). Annual success rate was greater than 98% each year from 1992 to 2010, except for a 73% success rate in 2004. Seven studies reported complications, being perforation the most common, reported in 14 patients (1.82%) and requiring immediate operation in two patients. Other complications were also reported: one esophageal hematoma, one Mallory-Weiss tear, one case of severe nausea and vomiting, and two cases of severe abdominal pain. Conclusion -Endoscopic treatment of stenosis is safe and effective; however, further high-quality randomized controlled trials should be conducted to confirm these findings.

Objetivo -Analisar os resultados da dilatação endoscópica em pacientes com estenose, através de revisão sistemática, incluindo complicações e taxa de sucesso.

“…Some authors have obtained good results by Savary-Gilliard bougies (11). Although most prefer the use of through-the-scope (TTS) (4,5,8,10,12,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Our experience shows that the dilation of the stenosis of the stoma using TTS balloon is safe and effective.…”

“…Published studies are not clear when it comes to describing this aspect. The minority of them clearly manifest not using fluoroscopy during dilation (4,18), others claim to have used it in all or in one of their patients (5,6,8,11,16), and finally, others do not make any sort of comment in this regard in their publications (9,10,14,15,17). Our experience demonstrates that carrying out dilations in patients with stenosis of the anastomosis in the gastric bypass is possible without a fluoroscopic guidance, allowing carrying out the technique in the simplest manner, in the same endoscopy room, without radiation for the patient or for the medical staff, and probably for a shorter period of time.…”

“…The stenosis of the stoma (stenosis of the gastro-jejunal anastomosis) occurs in approximately 3-12% after gastric bypass, and must be suspected when the patient experiences dysphagia, nausea and vomiting (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Endoscopic dilation of the stenosis by means of a balloon or bougie is considered the treatment of choice, even if in most studies it is not quite clear whether it should be done with or without a radioscopic guidance (4)(5)(6)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) In this study, we informed of our experience in the management of the stenosis of the stoma in patients with laparoscopic gastric bypass by means of endoscopic dilation with a hydrostatic balloon, without fluoroscopic guidance.…”
