H pylori complications such as chronic gastritis, and gastric
lymphoma. In addition, we hypothesize that the rate of postoperative
complications such as bleeding or leakage is higher
in H pylori positive specimens compared to their negative
counterparts.
���������Cerner computer based search for all non-tumor
including sleeve gastrectomy cases performed between
16/04/2008 to 30/06/2011 will be done. Surgical pathology
reports on these cases and slides will be re-examined and
H pylori Warthin Starry special stain will be performed on
every case if not previously done. Data on clinical history and
post-operative complications will be sought from hospital
electronic charts. Clinical history of upper G.I. symptoms, H
pylori infection or eradication prior to Sleeve gastrectomy
will be obtained. The prevalence of H pylori and rate of complications
among H pylori positive and negative cases will be
determined.
����������� Data from this study will provide a better insight
into the prevalence of H pylori among overweight National
patients. If the prevalence is high, this might modify our local
lab practice by providing a reflex Warthin Starry special stain
on all Sleeve gastrectomy cases. If the rate of post-operative
complications is high among H pylori positive cases then that
would affect post-operative patients’ management by providing
H pylori eradication therapy.
