Official Title: Defining High-resolution Manometry Thresholds of Backward Pressure Across the Lower Esophageal Sphincter Through Straight Leg Raise Maneuver in Obese Patients
Brief Summary:
There is an increasing interest in High resolution manometry (HRM) in the preoperative assessment of patients with obesity, in order to identify the best surgical option. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been known to increase the risk of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Different techniques have been recently developed and validated to offer to these patients protection against pathologic GERD after SG.A recent study found a significant correlation between straight leg raise (SLR) maneuver during HRM and a…
