Summary

This study aims to determine if preoperative EndoFlip measurement can effectively predict postoperative GERD-related quality of life and lower esophageal acid exposure.

Detailed description

Enrolled patients will be subjected to a pre-operative gastroscopy, 48-Hour Bravo pH study and EndoFlip. In addition, each patient will complete a GERD-related quality of life questionnaire (GERD-HRQL scale). One year after surgery, patients will undergo a follow up a gastroscopy, pH study, EndoFlip and the same quality of life questionnaire to predict the incidence of postoperative GERD and determine the effect of sleeve gastrectomy.

Conditions

• Gastroesophageal Reflux
