The Use of EndoFlip as a Clinical Tool for the Prediction of Postoperative GERD After Sleeve Gastrectomy
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.

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.
Study Design
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.
