Concurrent hiatal hernia repair and bariatric surgery: outcomes after sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hiatal hernias are often repaired concurrently with bariatric surgery to reduce risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease-related complications.

Objectives

To examine the association between concurrent hiatal hernia repair (HHR) and bariatric outcomes.

Setting

A 2010-2017 U.S. commercial insurance claims data set.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study. We identified adults who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) alone or had bariatric surgery concurrently with HHR. We matched patients with and without HHR and followed patients up to 3 years for incident abdominal operative interventions, bariatric revisions/conversions, and endoscopy. Time to first event for each outcome was compared using multivariable Cox
