Issue Date: | 2-Nov-2022 | Journal: | BJS open | Abstract: | Laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) is the standard surgical procedure for the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is commonly performed to achieve weight loss in obese patients, but it also has anti-reflux properties. Hence, in the obese population suffering from GORD, LRYGB could be an alternative to LF. The aim of this trial will be to compare LF and LRYGB in an obese population presenting with GORD and being considered for surgery. | DOI: | 10.1093/bjsopen/zrac132 | metadata.dc.rights.holder: | Holtmann, Gerald | Type: | Article |
