New-onset GERD is a common adverse event after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), with limited treatment options beyond medical therapy or surgical conversion. This case study presents a minimally invasive endoscopic approach-transoral antireflux plication (TARP)-for managing post-LSG GERD.
A 54-year-old woman with refractory GERD post-LSG underwent endoscopic sleeve revision and TARP. The procedure involved submucosal injection, mucosal incision, and full-thickness endoscopic suturing to reduce gastric volume and create an antireflux barrier.
A pH monitoring study 1 month postprocedure showed significant improvement in reflux parameters and symptom relief, independent of weight loss.
TARP with endoscopic sleeve revision may offer a safe, minimally invasive alternative to surgery for post-LSG GERD. Further research is needed to confirm long-term efficacy and patient selection criteria.
新发胃食管反流病(GERD)是腹腔镜袖状胃切除术(LSG)后常见的不良事件,除药物治疗或手术改道外,治疗选择有限。本病例研究介绍了一种用于治疗LSG术后GERD的微创内镜方法——经口抗反流折叠术(TARP)。
一名54岁的LSG术后难治性GERD女性患者接受了内镜袖状修复术和TARP。该手术包括黏膜下注射、黏膜切开和全层内镜缝合,以减少胃容积并建立抗反流屏障。
术后1个月的pH监测研究显示,反流参数显著改善,症状缓解,且与体重减轻无关。
TARP联合内镜袖状修复术可能为LSG术后GERD提供一种安全、微创的手术替代方案。需要进一步研究以证实其长期疗效和患者选择标准。
