Anti-reflux Suture Reduces De Novo GERD After Gastric Bypass

Researchers compared the efficacy of adding an anti-reflux mechanism during one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) to treat preoperative GERD and prevent de novo GERD. The study found that the anti-reflux suture reduced the incidence of de novo GERD symptoms, with a lower rate in patients who received the intervention. While there was no statistically significant difference, the findings suggest that applying an anti-reflux suture can help decrease de novo GERD symptoms after OAGB.
