Objective Sleeve gastrectomy is the fastest growing surgical procedure to treat obesity in the world but it may cause or worsen gastroesophageal reflux disease. This article originally aimed to describe the addition of anti-reflux procedures (removal of periesophageal fats pads, hiatoplasty, a small plication and fixation of the gastric remnant in position) to the usual sleeve gastrectomy and to report early and late results. Methods Eighty-eight obese patients that also presented symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease were submitted to sleeve gastrectomy with anti-reflux procedures. Fifty of them were also submitted to a transit bipartition. The weight loss of these patients was compared to consecutive 360 patients previously submitted to the usual sleeve gastrectomy and to 1,140 submitted to sleeve gastrectomy + transit bipartition. Gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms were specifically inquired in all anti-reflux sleeve gastrectomy patients and compared to the results of the same questionnaire applied to 50 sleeve gastrectomy patients and 60 sleeve gastrectomy + transit bipartition patients that also presented preoperative symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Results In terms of weight loss, excess of body mass index loss percentage after anti-reflux sleeve gastrectomy is not inferior to the usual sleeve gastrectomy and anti-reflux sleeve gastrectomy + transit bipartition is not inferior to sleeve gastrectomy + transit bipartition. Anti-reflux sleeve gastrectomy did not add morbidity but significantly diminished gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms and the use of proton pump inhibitors to treat this condition. Conclusion The addition of anti-reflux procedures, such as hiatoplasty and cardioplication, to the usual sleeve gastrectomy did not add morbidity neither worsened the weight loss but significantly reduced the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms as well as the use of proton pump inhibitors.

Abstract Background Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has been proved to be effective bariatric procedure for the treatment of morbidly obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In contrast, the indication for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in these group of patients is still not clear. LSG with simultaneous crural repair it can be a new, safe and effective therapautic approach. Methods A total of 60 obese patients with GERD operated on in 2016–2018 were included in the study. 20 patients were qualified for LRYBG. In the rest LSG was performed, of which half with simultaneous crural repair. Results GERD symptoms complete control was observed in 18/20 (90%) patients after LRYGB and 17/20 (85%) after LSG with simultaneous crural repair. The same effect occurred only in 8/20 patients direct after simple LSG. ‘De novo’ GERD symptoms developed in 10% of the patients undergoing alone LSG during 12 months follow up. Conclusion Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is still effective bariatric procedure for the treatment of morbidly obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Doubts remain in the situation of young patients without diabetes. If we additionally deal with a large hiatal hernia, the qualification for LRYGB remains debatable. In this situation, it is worth considering LSG. Simple sleeve gastrectomy not only does not guarantee a good anti-reflux effect, but it can also produce de-novo GERD. Laparoscopic simultanous crurolasty in the time of LSG, represents a valuable option for the treatment of morbid obesity with gastroesophageal reflux disease Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.
