The short-term effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with his angle reconstruction (LSG-His) on gastroesophageal reflux disease.

ABSTRACT: While laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an established bariatric procedure for obesity, postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains a significant complication. This study evaluates the short-term efficacy of a novel technique combining LSG with acute angle of His reconstruction (LSG-His) versus conventional LSG. This is a single center retrospective observation cohort study. Among 83 patients undergoing bariatric surgery, 39 receiving conventional LSG and 44 undergoing LSG-His (with diaphragmatic fundopexy using 2-0 Prolene sutures) were analyzed. GERD symptoms were assessed using the Reflux Diagnostic Questionnaire (RD-Q) and GERD Questionnaire (GERD-Q) at baseline and at 3-, 6-, 12-, 24-month postoperatively. Weight loss outcomes included percentage of excess weig
