    Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most common metabolic and bariatric surgery, effective for weight loss and improving obesity-related comorbidities.

  • 2

    Ring-Augmented Sleeve Gastrectomy (RASG) may enhance long-term weight loss and reduce recurrent weight gain compared to traditional SG.

  • 3

    RASG potentially improves gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) outcomes by preventing gastric pouch dilation and reducing intra-gastric pressure.

  • 4

    Despite its advantages, RASG carries risks of complications such as slippage and erosion, requiring careful postoperative monitoring.

  • 5

    This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of RASG versus non-ring-augmented SG, focusing on weight loss durability and safety.
