Histopathologic Findings in Sleeve Gastrectomy Specimens: Is Routine Pathological Examination Always Necessary?
Histopathological examination of sleeve gastrectomy samples reveals a high prevalence of abnormal findings, including active gastritis, Helicobacter pylori infection, intestinal metaplasia, and dysplasia requiring therapeutic management. However, tracking these changes in biopsy samples obtained from endoscopy before surgery may not be sufficient to predict the histopathological findings after sleeve gastrectomy.
