Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary endpoint is the differences in total esophageal acid exposure between patients (diagnosed with small HH) who underwent either LSG alone or LSG+HHR. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints consist of 1) changes in prevalence and intensity of GERD symptoms, dysphagia symptoms, and quality of life based on validated questionnaires between these two groups, 2) changes in belching, the number of acid and weakly acidic reflux episodes and manometric changes, 3) the effect of LSG on total esophageal acid exposure, weakly acid exposure and manometric changes in patients with no intraoperatively diagnosed HH who underwent LSG alone and (4) changes in anti-reflux medication usage in both groups of patients within the HH-group and patients in the no-HH-group. | — |
