GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE AFTER SLEEVE GASTROPLASTY IN CLINICAL PRACTICE: A Literature Review

Abstract

This article focuses on the most effective and reliable method of obesity treatment — bariatric surgery. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most popular methods, due to which patients eat less food, thanks to a decrease in stomach volume as well as some humoral mechanisms. The most common complication of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is gastroesophageal reflux disease. In this article, the authors offer a literature review, which presents data on the etiology, pathogenetic mechanisms, as well as modern and advanced methods of diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
