Concomitant surgery improves gastroesophageal reflux outcomes in obesity

A propensity score-matched analysis of 406 patients revealed that concomitant laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) with hiatal hernia repair (HHR) significantly improves outcomes for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) compared to LSG alone. While operative time was longer with HHR, the only notable difference in complications was a reduced incidence of new GERD symptoms in patients receiving HHR. Therefore, pairing HHR with LSG effectively enhances postoperative GERD management in this population.
