• The incidence of Barrett's esophagus, complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease, is rising in western countries. It is the same for esophageal adenocarcinoma, of which it is the main contributing factor. This retrospective study seeks to report the incidence of these pathologies observed in a regional hospital center and to describe their management. In 5 years, 354 Barrett's esophagus are detected and 34 of them are complicated by high-grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma. Endoscopic resection is performed in 24 of these patients. The histological analysis of which leads to the conclusion of adenocarcinoma in 20 patients and high-grade dysplasia in the 14 others. The complications of endoscopic and surgical resections are detailed. Their frequency and severity remain low, comparable to data in the literature.
