Core Tip

Core tip: The European Association of Endoscopic Surgery guidelines recommend esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for all bariatric procedures. They strongly recommend it for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The British Obesity & Metabolic Surgery Society recommends routine perioperative EGD for sleeve gastrectomy (SG), even if patients are asymptomatic, but not for RYGB. It is recommended for symptomatic patients scheduled for RYGB. According to the International Sleeve Gastrectomy Expert Panel Consensus Statement, preoperative EGD is definitely recommended for SG, but its routine use for RYGB is controversial. The American Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Association recommends that endoscopy be performed only on symptomatic patients scheduled for bariatric surgery.
