Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) is considered the weight loss procedure of choice for patients suffering of gastro-esophageal reflux (GER). However, long term instrumental evaluations of GER after LRYGB are not available.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term effects of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) on gastro-esophageal function.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Consecutive morbidly obese patients selected for LRYGB were included in a prospective study. The investigators performed clinical evaluation with GERD-HRQoL and GIS questionnaire, upper endoscopy, esophageal manometry and 24h-impedance pH monitoring (24h-MII-pH) preoperatively and at 12 and 60 months after surgery. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence of GER at preoperative 24h-MII-pH.
