    Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common weight loss surgery, but postoperative outcomes, especially GERD, vary significantly.

  • 2

    Postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after LSG can lead to increased morbidity, extended hospital stays, and higher rates of readmissions.

    The Titan® SGS stapler, a single-fire device, aims to improve consistency in LSG and potentially reduce postoperative complications like GERD.

    This study compares outcomes between traditional multiple-fire staplers and the single-fire stapler in robotic-assisted LSG performed by a single surgeon.

  • 5

    Data were collected from consecutive patients over five years, assessing GERD symptoms and medication use preoperatively and during follow-ups.
