New surgical tweak may cut acid reflux after gastric sleeve
NCT ID NCT07560787
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a crural repair and gastropexy to standard sleeve gastrectomy reduces acid reflux in people with severe obesity. Fifty patients were randomly assigned to either the standard surgery or the enhanced version. After one year, the group with the extra steps reported fewer reflux symptoms. The findings suggest a simple surgical addition could improve quality of life after weight-loss surgery.
