Abstract

The problem of gastroesophageal reflux disease among bariatric patients is constantly growing. While bariatric surgery is the most effective method of treating obesity and related diseases, not all surgical procedures lead to improvement or resolution of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The search for the "ideal" surgical procedure for this group of patients is ongoing. The relatively recently introduced SASI procedure seems to have a beneficial effect on GERD symptoms and may be an alternative anti-reflux procedure in obese patients. The presented paper is a review of the latest literature on the impact of SASI procedure on the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
