Abstract: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a relatively quick and straightforward procedure that offers high weight loss with few complications. Amongst the bariatric procedures, however, it has been reported that LSG has a higher incidence of gastroesophageal reflux which leads to poorer quality of life and increased risk of gastro-esophageal cancers. The proposed mechanisms behind this are many including modification of the oesophageal sphincter, increased gastric pressure gradients and changes to gastric anatomy.
