Key result
Round ligament cardiopexy is linked to improved severe reflux symptoms following sleeve gastrectomy.
Why the study?
Severe GERD after sleeve gastrectomy remains a major therapeutic challenge, and conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass carries significant long-term complication risks.

Does Round Ligament Cardiopexy improve reflux symptoms in patients with severe GERD following sleeve gastrectomy?
p-value: p=0.02
Round Ligament Cardiopexy may offer a safe and effective alternative to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for managing severe refractory reflux after sleeve gastrectomy.
Coisy et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) following sleeve gastrectomy (n=6). Round Ligament Cardiopexy (Rampal Technique) was evaluated on Improvement in reflux and regurgitation symptoms (p=0.02). Round Ligament Cardiopexy (Rampal Technique) significantly improved reflux symptoms (P=0.02) in patients with severe reflux following sleeve gastrectomy.
