AIM: To evaluate the risks of medical conditions, evaluate @entity356 , and assess @entity384 to treat @entity1282 after @entity346 ( @entity346 ). METHODS: @entity346 is being performed more frequently worldwide as a treatment for medically-complicated @entity28 , and @entity1282 is common post-operatively. We hypothesize that post-operative @entity1282 is related to underlying medical conditions or narrowing of the @entity356 . This is a retrospective, single institution study of consecutive @entity1 who underwent sleeve gastrectomy from 2013 to 2015. @entity1 with previous bariatric procedures were excluded. Narrowing of a @entity356 includes: inability to pass a 9.6 mm gastroscope due to @entity850 or sharp angulation or spiral hindering its passage. RESULTS: Of 400 consecutive @entity1 , 352 are included; the prevalence of @entity1282 is 22.7%; 33 @entity1 (9.3%) have narrowing of the sleeve with 25 (7.1%) having sharp angulation or a spiral while 8 (2.3%) have a @entity850 . All 33 @entity1 underwent balloon dilatation of the @entity356 and @entity1282 resolved in 13 @entity1 (39%); 10 @entity1 (30%) noted resolution of @entity1282 after two additional dilatations. In a multivariate model, medical conditions associated with post-operative @entity1282 include @entity6 , symptoms of @entity354 , a low whole blood @entity9138 level, @entity1375 , use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and use of opioids. CONCLUSION: Narrowing of the @entity356 and @entity356 are common after @entity346 . @entity6676 resolves @entity1282 in 69% of @entity1 .
