Prevention and treatment of gerd in patients with obesity undergoing gastroplication

Abstract

The aim of the study was to study the advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic gastric plication with the prevention and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease in the treatment of patients with overweight and obesity. From 2018 to the present, 24 patients have been observed who underwent laparoscopic gastric plication with the prevention and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, of which 19 (79.2 %) women and 5 (20.8 %) men. The average age of patients is 41 ± 3.5 years. Indication for surgery: BMI > 35 kg/m² and the presence of GERD with unsuccessful conservative treatment or BMI > 35 kg/m² and the presence of HH with symptoms of GERD. The experience of surgical treatment of these 24 patients allows us to speak about the effectiveness of the use of gastroplication surgery with the prevention and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease with a combination of obesity and GERD. Dyspeptic symptoms are expected in some patients and are stopped in the early postoperative period with medication. The return of BMI to baseline in 3 (12.5 %) patients requires further study.
