Background Laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a popular bariatric procedure performed in Asia, as obesity continues to be on the rise in our population. A major problem faced is the development of de novo gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after LSG, which can be chronic and debilitating. In this study, we aim to assess the relationship between the presence of small hiatal hernia (HH) and the development of postoperative GERD, as well as to explore the correlation between GERD symptoms after LSG and timing of meals. In doing so, we hope to gain a better understanding about the type of reflux that occurs after LSG and take a step closer towards effectively managing this difficult to treat condition. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data collected from patients who underwent LSG in our hospital from Dec 2008 to Dec 2016. All patients underwent preoperative upper GI endoscopy, during which the identification of hiatal hernia takes place. Patients' information and reflux symptoms are recorded using standardized questionnaires, which are administered preoperatively, and again during postoperative follow up visits. Results Of the 255 patients, 125 patients (74%) developed de novo GERD within 6 months post-sleeve gastrectomy. The rate of de novo GERD was 57.1% in the group with HH, and 76.4% in the group without HH. Adjusted analysis showed no significant association between HH and GERD (RR = 0.682; 95% CI 0.419 to 1.111; P = 0.125). 88% of the patients who developed postoperative GERD reported postprandial symptoms occurring only after meals, and the remaining 12% of patients reported no correlation between the timing of GERD symptoms and meals. Conclusion There is no direct correlation between the presence of small hiatal hernia and GERD symptoms after LSG. Hence, the presence of a small sliding hiatal hernia should not be exclusion for sleeve gastrectomy. Electing not to perform concomitant hiatal hernia repair also does not appear to result in higher rates of postoperative or de novo 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.

Abstract A 43 years old female with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and an ‘anterior’ hiatal hernia repair 11 years ago, presented with 3 years history dysphagia and heartburn. Upper gastrointestinal barium showed an almost complete intrathoracic migration of the SG with a partial organoaxial volvulus. Upper endoscopy revealed a 10 cm hiatal hernia with grade B esophagitis. Laparoscopic revision surgery with reduction of the gastric sleeve, standard posterior hiatal hernia repair, resection of the narrowed remnant of the SG and conversion to a gastric bypass was performed. No postoperative complications occurred. The patient is asymptomatic at 2 years of follow-up. We present the technical standards for the management and discuss the suspected pathophysiology of this rare but challenging condition.

Abstract Background The effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is controversial. Although concomitant hiatal hernia repair (HHR) at the time of LSG is common and advocated by many, there are few data on the outcomes of GERD symptoms in these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of concomitant HHR on GERD symptoms in morbidly obese patients undergoing LSG. Aim of the Work To analyse the impact of hiatal hernia repair (HHR) on gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in morbidly obese patients with hiatus hernia undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Patients and Methods This is a retrospective cohart study. We collected the data of Patients who underwent lap sleeve gastrectomy with cruroplsty in the same operation in the period between July 2018 and July 2019. Results Before surgery, symptomatic GERD was present in 14 patients (70%), and HH was diagnosed In 20 patients (100%), HH was diagnosed pre-operatively. The mean follow-up was 6 months. GERD remission occurred in 18 patients (90%). In the remaining 2 patients, antireflux medications were diminished, with complete control of symptoms. HH recurrences developed in 1 patient (10%). "De novo" GERD symptoms developed in 22.9% of the patients undergoing SG alone compared with 0% of patients undergoing SG plus HHR. Conclusion SG with HHR is feasible and safe, providing good management of GERD in obese patients with reflux symptoms. Small hiatal defects could be underdiagnosed at preoperative endoscopy and/or upper gastrointestinal contrast study. Thus, a careful examination of the crura is always recommended intraoperatively.

Abstract Objective Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. Newer studies providing long-term follow-up are showing high incidence of weight regain and high incidence of de novo reflux or worsening of preexisting GERD leading to conversion to different bariatric procedure. The objective of our study was to present 5 to 15-year follow-up results in terms of weight loss, remission of comorbidities and reoperation rate. Methods This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. The minimal follow-up time was 5 years. Patients who underwent SG between August 2004 and December 2014 were included. In case of reoperation patients were converted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or biliopancreatic diversion type duodenal-switch with or without hiatal hernia repair. Results A total of 307 patients underwent SG either as primary bariatric procedure (n = 262) or as redo operation after failed laparoscopic gastric banding (n = 45). Mean body mass index at time of primary SG was 46.4 ± 8.0 kg/m2. Mean age at operation was 43.7 ± 12.4 years with 68% females. Follow-up was 84% and 70% at 5 and 10 years respectively. The mean EBMIL for primary SG was 62.8 ± 23.1% after 5 years, 53.6 ± 24.6% after 10 years and 51.2 ± 20.3% after 13 years. Reoperation after SG was necessary in almost every fifth SG patient: 24 patients (7.8%) were reoperated due to insufficient weight loss, 12 patients (3.9 %) due to reflux, while 23 patients (7.5%) needed conversion due to both, insufficient weight loss and reflux. Comorbidities improved considerably while the incidence of new onset reflux was 29.7%. Conclusion SG provides a long-term EBMIL from 51 to 54% beyond 10 years and a significant improvement of comorbidities. On the other hand, a high incidence of both weight loss failure and de novo reflux was observed leading to conversion.

Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Repair

Abstract   Laparoscopic hiatoplasty and fundoplication is the gold standard of surgical treatment of GERD and hiatal hernia. However, the main drawback of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair is a substantial recurrence rate. Hence, prosthetic meshs have been used to reduce the risk for recurrence. But meshs may cause major complications. As a consequence we adopted the hepatic shoulder plasty described by Quilici to augment the hiatal hernia repair in patients with a high risk for hernia recurrence. Methods Patients with large (>4 cm) axial hiatal hernia, giant paraesophageal or with recurrent hernia consecutively underwent laparoscopic hernia repair with crural sutures and hepatic shoulder plasty. A Toupet or a floppy Nissen fundoplication was added. In patients with giant paraesophageal hernia the hernia sack was resected. Perioperative complications were recorded. Follow-up comprised endoscopy and/or radiography and QoL-evaluation with the Eypasch score (GIQLI). Results Between 2012 and 2018 51 patients (mean age 71 years, 65% female) underwent Quilici’s procedure. Among them 33,3% had one or more previous hiatal hernia repair. There were no conversions. Postoperative complication rate was 7.8%. At follow-up after 2 years 6 recurrences (12%) were encountered, 4 of them were symptomatic (8%). One patient underwent reoperation due to hernia recurrence. In 84% QoL was significantly improved at follow-up. Conclusion In patients with high risk of recurrence, biological augmentation of the hiatal closure with the left lobe of the liver may be a valuable alternative to prosthetic reinforcement. We observed no complication attributable to liver lobe transposition.
