What this study is about

This study aims to investigate the patterns of reflux symptoms after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy based on the presence or absence of preoperative gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

Procedure

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is most commonly performed bariatric/metabolic surgery. LSG is performed in patients with obesity and/or obesity-related comorbidities. During LSG, the stomach was resected from 5 cm proximal to the pylorus to the angle of His, guided by a 36-French bougie. In patients with hiatal hernia, concomitant HHR was also performed with LSG using non-absorbable sutures. Routine oral potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB) was prescribed for 3 months after surgery and the discontinuation of PCAB was determined based on GERD symptoms at the 3-month visit.

Primary outcomes

Symptom scores from the modified GERD-HRQLbefore laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after surgery

The modified GERD-HRQL consists of 15 questions with a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 5. Among these, six questions are related to heartburn, while another six focus on regurgitation. Symptom scores including heartburn and regurgitation scores were defined as the sum of the six questions related to each symptom.
