Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: Experience from a Single Center in the Middle East

Key Points

• This research aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of magnetic sphincter augmentation for managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in a regional cohort.
• Evaluated magnetic sphincter augmentation outcomes in a Middle Eastern cohort.
• Compared outcomes in patients with and without prior sleeve gastrectomy.
• Analyzed outcomes against international reports.
• MSA demonstrated safety and efficacy in managing GERD within the cohort.
• Outcomes were comparable to global findings, supporting its use.
