Abstract
Although the gastric sleeve is a commonly performed procedure to treat morbid obesity, long-term complications represent a challenge for this procedure. Gastroesophageal reflux is an example of these complications, which is under-evaluated in medical literature. This review article aimed at evaluating the literature on the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease after gastric sleeve surgery. Medical databases were examined thoroughly to explore the eligible articles for inclusion. Twenty-two articles appeared in the search result. The produced reports were evaluated against the pre-decided inclusion criteria. After reviewing the literature, four articles were eligible to be included in this review. The included articles were published between 2012 and 2019. The study concludes that there are some data about the increasing trend of gastroesophageal reflux disease after gastric sleeve procedure. However, data from high-quality studies with better study design are crucial to confirm this finding.
