Background:
One of the most popular bariatric procedures is laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), which can either cause or worsen gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Therefore, the goal of this study was to examine the prevalence, predictors, and management of GERD symptoms after LSG.
Materials And Methods:
From January 2017 to January 2022, we looked at patients who had a primary LSG and developed GERD. Before LSG, all patients underwent a barium meal and upper endoscopy. After LSG, barium meal, endoscopy, esophageal manometry, and 24-h pH measurements were performed for selected patients. The diagnosis of GERD is based on the GERD-HRQL questionnaire and upper endoscopy.
Results:
The study included 1537 patients (62.5% women and 37.5% men) with a mean age of 34.4 years. The mean % TWL was 40.7% during a mean follow-up period of 15.9 months. A total of 379 patients (24.7%) experienced postoperative GERD, of whom 328 (21.3%) had postoperative de novo GERD symptoms, 25 (1.6%) had worsened preoperative GERD, and 26 (1.7%) had the same preoperative GERD symptoms. Antral preservation and gastropexy were protective factors against the development of GERD after LSG. LSG was converted to LRYGB in 15.8% of the patients with GERD. The response to medical treatment was observed in 300 (79.2%) patients with GERD.
Conclusion:
Post-LSG GERD presented in 379 patients (24.7%). Antral preservation and gastropexy were protective factors for the development of postoperative GERD after LSG. Medical treatment was the main line of treatment for GERD.
