Why the study?
Some patients experience gastroesophageal reflux symptoms after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy despite its benefits on weight loss and obesity morbidities.
What is the prevalence of post-LSG GERD symptoms and associated risk factors?
What is the prevalence of post-LSG GERD symptoms and associated risk factors?
Post-LSG GERD prevalence estimates and risk factor associations should not yet change practice; leaves open need for prospective longitudinal confirmation.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) remains an effective standalone bariatric surgery. Some patients might experience gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) symptoms post LSG despite its beneficial outcome on weight loss and improving obesity morbidities. This study aims to determine the prevalence of post-LSG GERD symptoms and associated risk factors.
