Evaluation of Omentopexy on Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Following Sleeve Gastrectomy

Evaluation of Omentopexy on Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Following Sleeve Gastrectomy

The aim of the study is to assess impact of omentopexy on de novo gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy.

This will be assess 2 years postoperatively. This study is a prospective, multicentric, randomized trial. Five hundred twenty six patients should be included with 263 in each arm. First arm will include patients who have a sleeve gastrectomy. The second arm will include patients who have sleeve gastrectomy with omentopexy.

Two years after surgery , it will be collected a CARLSSON score and BAROS score (quality of life).

The main objective is to show that omentopexy decreases the rate of de novo GERD after sleeve gastrectomy at 2 years postoperatively without the use of Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
