Abstract Background Roux Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is the preferred primary bariatric surgical option in patients with preoperative gastro oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is also the preferred revisional bariatric surgery after when GERD develops after an alternate primary bariatric surgery. However reflux after RYGB although uncommon can present due to a variety of factors. Management can be challenging. Aim/Hypothesis A modified version of the Belsey IV fundoplication can be done laparoscopically to reconstitute the antireflux barrier in the absence of a Fundal remnant in the gastric pouch after RYGB. Methods We present a single patient experience/case study where there was evidence of recurrent GERD in spite of a successful RYGB in terms of weight loss and comorbidity resolution. A 42 year old female with a BMI > 40 and metabolic co-morbidities and GERD was deemed fit for RYGB. After a technically uneventful RYGB with standard limb lengths ( Roux 120cms and BP limb 70 cms) there was significant weight loss ( > 70% EBWL) and co-morbidity resolution. However her symptoms of GERD persisted. An gastroscopy confimed esophagitis and a barium swallow showed evidence of GERD with a small hiatal hernia and a 3-4 cms Candy cane limb. There was no evidence of a gastrogastric fistula. Revisonal surgery was done which revealed no significant candy cane limb. A small (<2cms) hiatal hernia was found. Complete esophageal mobilization and a hiatal hernia repair was done in a standard fashion. Furthermore the anterior wall of the long gastric pouch was invaginated to obtain an approximate coverage of 200 degrees in a single layer Belsey technique. The procedure was completed laparoscopically. Results The post-operative period was uneventful. Patient reported complete absence of reflux after surgery and remains off PPI in the short term. Temporary dysphagia was noticed in the first few weeks after surgery which improved with expectant treatment. Conclusion A Laparoscopic modified Belsey type fundoplication serves as an effective method to treat GERD after a RYGB if other potential causes of GERD are excluded.

Obesity and obesity-related comorbid conditions have been steadily increasing in the United States over the past few decades. Despite the availability of several anti-obesity measures such as diet, exercise, pharmacotherapy and behavioral modifications, bariatric surgery is the only effective modality that can provide a sustainable long-term weight loss and improve obesity-associated comorbidities. In this chapter, we discuss perioperative assessment and work-up of morbidly obese patients, minimally invasive approaches to various bariatric surgery procedures including laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, and their short and long term outcomes. We also address revisional bariatric surgery and use of robotic platform and other new procedures and their role in metabolic and bariatric surgery. This review contains 7 figures, 2 videos, 2 tables, and 110 references. Keywords: Obesity, comorbidities, metabolic surgery, bariatric surgery, gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch, revisional surgery
