A302 Low incidence of GERD after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Comparison of three techniques and with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

GERD after LSG is due to turbulent flow resulting from uneven sleeve diameter. Uneven sleeve diameter is due to incomplete fundal resection, stricture, sleeve rotation from division of lateral attachments and “zig-zag” staple line formation from use of 60mm staple loads (SL) in a curved line.
