Incidence of Colorectal Adenomas After Bariatric Surgery: Pre-operative Super Morbid Obesity Is Independently Associated with Increased Risk.

Purpose: The impact of pre-bariatric surgery BMI on the incidence of colorectal adenomas in the post-operative period is unknown. Here we aim to evaluate the incidence of colorectal adenomas after bariatric surgery and to assess super morbid obesity (SMO) as a risk factor for post-operative colorectal adenomas.

Materials And Methods: An inception cohort of 1639 patients that underwent bariatric surgery between 2011 and 2019 in a referral center was retrospectively analyzed.
