Objective:

To investigate the role of gastropexy during LSG in preserving esophageal manometric values and reducing gastrointestinal complications.

Key Findings:
  • Gastropexy may preserve esophageal manometric values post-LSG.
  • Reduction in postoperative GERD symptoms and complications in the gastropexy group.
  • Improved functional outcomes associated with gastropexy.
Interpretation:

Gastropexy during LSG may mitigate adverse effects on esophageal motility and reduce gastrointestinal complications.

Limitations:
  • Small sample size may limit generalizability.
  • Short follow-up duration may not capture long-term outcomes.
Conclusion:

Gastropexy appears to be a beneficial adjunct to LSG, potentially improving esophageal function and reducing complications.
