Introduction. Hiatal hernia occupies a third place in the structure of the gastrointestinal tract pathology. The association of hiatal hernia with gastroesophageal reflux disease can lead to severe complications and requires a surgical treatment. Objective. To analyze short-term and long-term results of a surgical treatment of patients with hiatal hernia complicated by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods. A retrospective analysis of the short-term and long-term treatment results of 62 patients suffering from hiatal hernia complicated by gastroesophageal reflux disease was performed. All the patients underwent a laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair supplemented by Toupet fundoplication. Results. The hospital stay duration was 7.21.6 days. The postoperative complication rate was 6.5%. Mild functional dysphagia was noted in 8(12.9%). Persistent long-term dysphagia in the late postoperative period was observed in 2(3.2%) patients. The recurrences of hiatal hernia or GERD were noted in 15(24.2%) patients in 5 years after the surgery. The total GERD-HRQL questionnaire score 5 years after the surgery was 5.73.9. Сonclusion. Laparoscopic interventions are safe, less traumatic, provide the possibility of early rehabilitation of patients, can achieve positive functional results in 85% of patients and should be used in the treatment of patients suffering from hiatal hernia complicated by GERD.

Introduction Obesity is associated with a higher prevalence of various comorbidities including gastroesophageal reflux disease. It is yet still unclear whether LSG exacerbates or alleviates GERD symptoms. Available date in the literature on LSG influence on GERD are contradictory. Material and methods Systematic review of literature comparing GERD in sleeve gastrectomy versus sleeve gastrectomy with concomtitant hiatal repair. The review was conducted in January 2021 in accordance to PRISMA guidelines. Inclusion criteria involved reporting GERD and comparison of above mentioned techniques. Primary outcome of interest were alleviation of GERD and “de-novo” GERD symptoms. Secondary outcomes were operative time and morbidity. Results Initial search yielded 831 records. After the review and full-text screening 5 studies were included in the analysis. There were no differences in terms of GERD outcomes, p=0.74 for alleviation, p=0.77 for new symptoms. Concomitant hiatal hernia repair significantly prolongs sleeve gastrectomy by 38 mins. Conclusion There are no differences in GERD between hiatal hernia repair during sleeve gastrectomy in comparison to sleeve gastrectomy alone. More high-quality studies are required to fully evaluate this subject.
