Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Assess the value of routine endoscopy in the diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus (BE) in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and to show the feasibility of a comprehensive treatment algorithm that includes antireflux surgery as an essential component.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted on a sample of 171 patients with Barrett's esophagus who underwent antireflux surgery. In evaluating the operating characteristics of endoscopy were recruited another 675 patients with GERD without BE. On the diagnostic phase was used endoscopy with double chromoscopy and biopsy followed by histological examination. At the stage of treatment, patients received conservative therapy by PPl after which underwent antireflux surgery and argon-plasma coagulation (in some cases).
RESULTS: Endoscopy of the esophagus with a double chromoscopy in identification BE in patients with GERD, has a moderate sensitivity (71.9%, 95% Cl 64.6%-78.5%) and high specificity (100%, 95% Cl 99.5%-100%). A comprehensive treatment approach that includes antireflux surgery as an essential component has allowed to achieve excellent and satisfactory immediate results of treatment in 88.9% of patients (95% Cl 83.2%-93.2%). Excellent and satisfactory long-term results were achieved in 89.5 % of patients (95% Cl 83.9%-93.6 %).
CONCLUSION: The results indicate the need for biopsy and histological examination in all patients with GERD, who has no suspicion of BE according to endoscopy, and prove high efficiency of complex treatment algorithm that includes antireflux surgery as an essential component.
