Abstract

Background: Surgical treatment for extreme obesity (body mass index [BMI] more than 50 kg/m 2) is on the rise as the prevalence of morbid obesity increases. This has led to the development of surgical techniques that help people lose enough weight while causing as little harm as possible. Objective: The purpose of the research was to determine if doing simple cruroplasty at the same time as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is safe and effective, and if so, to what degree. Patients and methods: This study was done on 60 people who were split into two groups. Group A had 30 people who had a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and a cruroplasty at the same time. The thirty patients in Group B all underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy without the addition of a cruroplasty. Differences in outcomes and complication rates were examined between the two groups. Results: This study found that SG with simple cruroplasty is possible and safe, and it's a good way to treat denovo GERD in obese people who don't have symptoms of reflux. During a preoperative endoscopy and/or upper GI contrast study, small hiatal defects could be missed. So, it is always best to carefully look at the crura during surgery. Conclusion: The results of simple cruroplasty with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies to prevent GERD after SG are the same as those of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies without cruroplasty, and there are no major side effects.
