A571 Oesophageal adenocarcinoma after conversion of sleeve gastrectomy to Roux-Y gastric bypass for gastroesophageal reflux. A case report.

Incidence of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a concern considering the popularity of this procedure, lack of long-term data and theoretical risk of esophageal cancer development. Gastric bypass is considered the best therapeutic option for persisting reflux after SG. However up to 30% of patients suffer from post-operative GER.
