Long-term impact of gastropexy on use of acid-reducing medication, second operations for gastroesophageal reflux and subjective reflux symptoms after sleeve gastrectomy
Abstract:Background/Objectives
Gastopexy (G) has been introduced as a surgical technique to reduce gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
