Abstract

The role of preoperative upper gastrointestinal endoscopy before bariatric surgery is still debated, and a consensus among the international scientific community is lacking. The aims of this study, conducted in three different geographic areas, were to analyze data regarding the pathological endoscopic findings and report their impact on the decision-making process and surgical management, in terms of delay in surgical operation, modification of the intended bariatric procedure, or contraindication to surgery.
