INTRODUCTION Obesity is related with higher incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Antireflux surgery has inadequate results when associated with obesity, due to migration and/or subsequent disruption of antireflux wrap. Gastric bypass, meanwhile, provides good control of gastroesophageal reflux. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the technical difficulty in performing gastric bypass in patient...

BACKGROUND Postoperative dysphagia is common after antireflux surgery and generally runs a self-limiting course. Nevertheless, part of these patients report long-term dysphagia. Inadequate surgical technique is a well documented cause of this result. AIM This retrospective study evaluated the preoperative risk factors not surgery-related for persistent dysphagia after primary laparoscopic ant...
