A165 long term results after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with concomitant posterior cruroplasty: five-year follow-up update

Hiatal hernia (HH) repair during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been advocated to reduce postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and/or intrathoracic migration (ITM) incidence. Previous,mid-term Results of a prospective, comparative study evaluating posterior cruroplasty concomitant with LSG (group A 48 patients with simple vs. group B 48 reinforced with bioabsorbable mesh) confirmed the safety and effectiveness of simultaneous procedures. Present aim: to report the 60 months follow-up update, evaluating GERD, esophageal lesions ’ incidence and HH’s recurrence.
