2019
Background
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) isuery ID="Q1" Text="Author:Kindly check the edit made in the article title." -->the most efficacious procedure of choice for obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has high rates of worsening GERD post operatively. Little evidence exists as to whether the use of objective foregut investigations has a meaningful impact on surgical procedure selection. This study examined whether a standard preoperative foregut evaluation protocol effected procedure selection in bariatric patients presenting for surgical evaluation with subjective symptoms of GERD.
