The Impact of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease on Esophageal Motility in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Retrospective Record-Based Study

Key Points

• Esophageal motility is significantly altered in individuals with gastroesophageal reflux disease undergoing surgery.
• Analysis of records from patients indicates a notable impact on gastric pressure post-operatively.
• Retrospective record-based study highlights the importance of monitoring esophageal function after laparoscopic procedures.
• Findings suggest that these changes may lead to complications after weight-loss surgeries.
