Summary: Intraoperative measurements of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) including cross-sectional area, distensibility index, pressure, and high-pressure zone length were correlated with post-sleeve gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms after robotic sleeve gastrectomy. Patients with new or worsening GERD symptoms had higher distensibility index and lower LES pressure after surgery. An increase in GEJ CSA, pressure, and distensibility index, and a decrease in GEJ length can be expected during robotic sleeve gastrectomy.

Summary: Patients who undergo vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) are at risk of postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Abnormal preoperative pH studies and esophageal motility disorders are associated with higher rates of postoperative reflux after VSG. A DeMeester score greater than 24.8 predicts the occurrence of postoperative reflux in patients with abnormal preoperative pH studies.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The study found that 16.1% of patients developed de novo GERD symptoms after LSG, and these symptoms were significantly associated with older age and lower BMI.

Summary: This study found that different proximal resection distances from the pylorus during LSG surgery can impact anthropometric features at 12 months post-op and increase the incidence of GERD. However, these differences seem to decrease by 24 months.

Summary: After analyzing 10 studies, it was found that the prevalence of BE is high in patients undergoing EGD after SG, with no significant correlation with postoperative GERD symptoms. Most cases of BE were observed after 3 years.

Summary: The study highlights the incidence of postoperative GERD and endoscopic lesions following sleeve gastrectomy. While SG is not contraindicated in cases of reflux, patients may require close endoscopic surveillance post-surgery. Some patients also reported a lack of regular medical follow-up after 5 years.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and results of LSG and LSGFD in obese patients with or without GERD. The results showed that LSG and LSGFD had similar effects on weight loss and GERD resolution in obese patients. LSGFD also had a preventive effect on the occurrence and development of GERD. This suggests that LSGFD has clinical value in obese patients.

Summary: The study compared the incidence of GERD, esophagitis, and BE postoperatively in patients undergoing VSG and RYGB, finding that VSG patients had a higher frequency of postoperative GERD, while BE was more prevalent among RYGB patients. De novo esophageal reflux symptomatology was more common in VSG patients, but RYGB patients had a higher rate of re-admission.

Summary: The study showed that overall, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) does not significantly affect gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms, but patients without GERD prior to surgery may be at risk for new or worsening symptoms postoperatively. Further studies involving endoscopic, pathological, or manometry evaluations are necessary for a comprehensive understanding of LSG's impact on esophageal health.

Summary: More than 80% of patients completed a 10-year follow-up, with a success rate of 41% after SG and an incidence of long-term GERD of 65%. Patients with lower preoperative BMI and without preoperative GERD symptoms had a higher success rate with SG.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy of MSA device placement in patients with persistent or de novo GERD after sleeve gastrectomy. The results showed that MSA device placement significantly improved GERD symptoms, reduced anti-reflux medication usage, and resulted in high patient satisfaction. Further studies are needed to validate the use of MSA in patients who have undergone sleeve gastrectomy.

Summary: This study examined the postoperative outcomes of sleeve gastrectomy in patients with preexisting esophageal motor disorders. It found that achalasia and nutcracker esophagus were associated with poorer postoperative outcomes, leading to the recommendation of gastric bypass surgery for these patients.

Summary: This study compared the postoperative symptoms and complications of patients undergoing gastropexy with those who did not undergo gastropexy during LSG. The results showed that patients who underwent gastropexy had significantly reduced nausea, vomiting, reflux symptoms, and antiemetic drug use. Therefore, gastropexy can effectively alleviate postoperative LSG-related gastrointestinal symptoms and complications.

Summary: The prevalence and severity of erosive esophagitis (EE) increase after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Male gender and post-operative hiatal hernia are independent factors for an increased severity of EE after LSG. The incidence of severe EE after LSG is low for patients without pre-operative EE or grade A EE at baseline.

Summary: The study found that the mean total sleeve volume was not significantly correlated with %TWL at 12 months postop. The presence of intrathoracic sleeve migration indicated more frequent gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and a higher probability of suboptimal weight loss.

Summary: Atherosclerosis is a major cause of global mortality, and the efficacy of statins may be influenced by genetic and environmental factors, with certain lncRNAs potentially playing a role in atherosclerosis. Current research on the interplay between statins and lncRNAs implicated in atherosclerosis is limited.
