AIM: To study.the preoperative and postoperative role of upper esophagogastroduodenoscopy.EGD) in morbidly.obese patients. METHODS: This is a multicenter retrospective study.by.reviewing the database of patients who underwent bariatric surgery.laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. laparoscopic Roux en y.gastric by.ass, or laparoscopic minigastric by.ass) in the period between 2001 June and 2015 August(Jahra Hospital-Kuwait, Hafr Elbatin Hospital and King Saud Medical City.KSA, and Mansoura University.Hospital- Egy.t). Patients with age 18-65 y.ars, body.mass index(BMI) > 40, or > 35 with comorbidities after failure of many.dietetic regimen and acceptable levels of surgical risk were included in the study.after having an informed signed consent. We retrospectively.reviewed the medical charts of all morbidly.obese patients. The patients' preoperative data included clinical history.including upper digestive sy.ptoms and preoperative full workup including EGD. Only.patients whose charts revealed weather they.were sy.ptomatic or not were studied. We categorized patients accordingly.into two groups; with(group A) or without(group B) upper digestive sy.ptoms. The endoscopic findings were categorized into 4 groups based on predetermined criteria. The medical record of patients who developed stricture, leak or bleeding after bariatric surgery.was reviewed. Logestic regression analy.is was used to identify.preoperative predictors that might be associated with abnormal endoscopic findings. RESULTS: Three thousand, two hundred and nineteen patients in the study.period underwent bariatric surgery.75% LSG, 10% LRy.B, and 15% MGB). Mean BMI was 43 ± 13, mean age 37 ± 9 y.ars, 79% were female. Twenty.eight percent had presented with upper digestive sy.ptoms(group A). EGD was considered normal in 2414(75%) patients(9% group A vs 66% group B, P = 0.001). The abnormal endoscopic findings were found high in those patients with upper digestive sy.ptoms. Abnormal findings(one or more) were fo
