This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of hiatal hernia repair alone as a treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) following sleeve gastrectomy.
Conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with GERD after sleeve gastrectomy.
Focused on patients who underwent laparoscopic revision with hiatal hernia repair.
Analyzed outcomes related to GERD severity post-surgery.
Hiatal hernia repair effectively alleviated GERD symptoms in selected patients.
The treatment was found to be a viable option without additional surgical interventions.
Patients reported improvements in quality of life post-repair.
Abstract
Only hiatal hernia repair could be an acceptable treatment option for the occurrence of GERD after LSG in selected cases.
