Comparing the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and hiatal hernia repair with or without fundoplication for weight loss and gastrointestinal reflux resolution

Our research with short-term results reports similar improvement in BMI and GERD symptoms in patients with LSG and HHR with or without LNF. A sound repair of hiatal crura combined with LSG leads to comparable outcomes to crural repair combined with LNF and LSG for weight loss and reflux resolution. Our short-term results do not support LNF in combination with LSG and HHR. Further research is essential to determine the long-term outcomes.
