Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) combined with crura of diaphragm plasticity on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after LSG.
Methods Clinical data of 33 patients with obesity who underwent LSG or LSG combined with crura of diaphragm plasticity from June 2022 to March 2023 and completed follow-up in time were retrospectively analyzed. Group as surgical method, there were 18 cases in LSG group and 15 cases in LSG combined with crura of diaphragm plasticity group. Perioperative indicators, improvement of obesity and severity of GERD were compared in these two groups.
Results All procedures were performed via laparoscopic surgery. In LSG group, mean operative time was (97.06±23.28) min, volume of intraoperative blood loss was (34.72±19.59) ml, hospital stay after operation was (3.44±0.78) d. In LSG combined with crura of diaphragm plasticity group, mean operative time was (100.33±14.82) min, volume of intraoperative blood loss was (31.33±5.16) ml, hospital stay after operation was (3.47±0.74) d, with no statistical significance between the two groups (P>0.05). One month after surgery, there was no significant difference in %EWL and %TWL between the two groups (P>0.05). The GERD-Q score of LSG group was (6.89±1.53) points, and that of LSG combined with crura of diaphragm plasticity group was (6.80±1.37) points, with no statistical significance between the two groups (P>0.05). There were 5 patients (27.78%) with GERD-Q score ≥8 points in LSG group, and 4 patients (26.67%) in LSG combined with crura of diaphragm plasticity group, with no statistical significance between the two groups (P>0.05). Six months after surgery, there was no significant difference in %EWL and %TWL between the two groups (P>0.05). The GERD-Q score of LSG group was (6.06±0.24) points, and that of LSG combined with crura of diaphragm plasticity group was (6.40±1.12) points, with no statistical significance between the two groups (P>0.05). There were 0 patients (0.00%) with GERD-Q score ≥8 points in LSG group, and 2 patients (13.33%) in LSG combined with crura of diaphragm plasticity group, with no statistical significance between the two groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion Compared with LSG, LSG combined with crura of diaphragm plasticity did not prolong operation time, increase surgical complications and affect postoperative rehabilitation, and had no significant effect on GERD after LSG.
