Abstract :
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence rates of H. pylori before and one year after Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery. Methods and Materials: The laparoscopic research center database from 2018 to 2020 was searched to identify patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass surgery (LRYGB). Retrospectively, the patients were evaluated for the presence of H. pylori infection via endoscopy or H. pylori stool Ag before and one year after the surgery. Results: Among the 106 patients, H. pylori was positive in 50 patients (47.2%) before the operation. Based on post-op evaluation among 54 patients, only 4(7.4%) developed post-op H. pylori infection. Conclusion: Eradicating H. pylori in patients under Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery remains efficient. So, it is not recommended to recheck H. pylori-Ag in patients after LRYGB in the short term. However, we suggest that further studies evaluate the need for long-term re-screening patients for H. pylori-Ag after LRYGB.
