    Obesity and GERD often coexist, complicating treatment and necessitating effective surgical options after failed fundoplication.

  • 2

    Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a promising alternative to redo fundoplication, addressing both obesity and reflux with high symptom resolution rates.

  • 3

    Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) may be performed after fundoplication but raises concerns about exacerbating GERD, making RYGB generally more favorable.

  • 4

    This study analyzed MBSAQIP data to evaluate safety and complications of SG and RYGB in patients with prior fundoplication.

  • 5

    The primary objective was to assess serious complications and mortality rates within 30 days post-surgery for SG and RYGB.
