    Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is effective for obesity but can lead to postoperative complications like GERD and dysphagia.

  • 2

    Gastropexy may mitigate adverse effects of LSG by stabilizing the stomach and preserving the gastroesophageal junction.

  • 3

    This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial involving 40 patients to assess gastropexy's impact on esophageal manometry.

  • 4

    Patients were divided into two groups: one receiving LSG with gastropexy and the other receiving LSG alone.

  • 5

    The primary endpoint is the change in esophageal manometric values post-surgery, with follow-up at six months.
