Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

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

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: sleeve gastrectomy
N/A

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
No Intervention: Before sleeve gastrectomy

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) will be evaluated before surgery. EndoFlip, gastroscopy, pH-study and GERD-Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire will be realized for all patients.

Experimental: Sleeve gastrectomy

After the surgical intervention, new onset or worsening of GERD will be evaluated.

Procedure: sleeve gastrectomy
Patients will be recruited for a sleeve gastrectomy according to the guidelines of the National Institute of Health.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. New-onset of gastroesophageal reflux disease [12 months postoperatively]
