Filter by:The aim of the study is to assess impact of omentopexy on de novo gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy. This will be assess 2 years postoperatively. This study is a prospective, multicentric, randomized trial. Five hundred twenty six patients should be included with 263 in each arm. First arm will include patients who have a sleeve gastrectomy. The second arm will include patients who have sleeve gastrectomy with omentopexy. Two years after surgery , it will be collected a CARLSSON score and BAROS score (quality of life). The main objective is to show that omentopexy decreases the rate of de novo GERD after sleeve gastrectomy at 2 years postoperatively without the use of Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)
Chronic cough is a very unpleasant symptom, significantly reduces the patient's quality of life, and bothers the neighborhood. A very common cause or co-factor of chronic cough is extraesophageal reflux (EER). The aim of the project is the precise diagnosis of EER in patients with chronic cough (in patients with a simultaneously diagnosed allergic cause and without it).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the superiority of anterior crural repair during sleeve gastrectomy over no repair in decreasing the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause multiple system function disorders, and complicated symptoms last for an extended period. The virus can cause this continued infection, or the virus causes immune system function disorder and post-infectious autoimmune disease. The clinical symptoms can be smell loss, taste loss to liver function disorder, kidney function failure, different. No matter how complicated the systems showed in the clinic, all of the symptoms are due to the specific cells being damaged. Our clinical study is focused on recovering the damaged structure and function of the cells that could restore the organ function back to normal or close to normal
MGB is considered to be the best alternative to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) due to the shorter operation time and fewer possible complications. The purpose of this study was to determine biliary reflux in patients undergoing MGB/OAGB with a hand-sewn gastroenteroanastomosis, and MGB/OAGB with a stapler gastroenteroanastomosis.
This 12 week biomarker targeted double blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) will enroll subjects with salivary pepsin positive laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) to assess efficacy of the external upper esophageal sphincter (UES) compression device, also known as the Reflux Band. Subjects will be randomized to one of two arms: control or experimental. Following the 8 week intervention period subjects in both arms will continue in a 4 week unblinded period. The primary hypothesis is that a significantly higher proportion of subjects in the experimental arm will meet the primary endpoint for symptom response, compared to subjects in the control arm.
High resolution manometry (HRM) is a key test in the preoperative assessment of patients with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) who are potential candidates for antireflux surgery. The recent Lyon consensus suggested the potential usefulness of HRM in diagnosing GERD, however, sensitivity and specificity of HRM for GERD remains low (53.6% and 72.5% respectively). Among recently proposed provocative tests during manometry, a traditional maneuver (straight leg raise maneuver, SLR) appeared promising in predicting reflux. This is a multicenter study involving high-volume esophageal function laboratories around the world. Patients with suspected GERD and tested with HRM and pH-impedance will be asked to perform SLR during HRM. Intra-abdominal and intra-esophageal pressure during SLR will be recorded and compared with acid exposure time (AET) at pH-impedance. Primary aim is to determine the optimal threshold of intra-esophageal pressure augmentation during straight leg raise (SLR) maneuver that predicts pathological esophageal acid exposure time (AET). Secondary aim is to assess the diagnostic performance of HMR with SRL maneuver, calculating sensitivity, specificity, false-positive rate (FPR), false-negative rate (FNR), positive predictive value and total misclassification rate.
This clinical feasibility study is to evaluate the performance of the Omega-Cuff in the treatment of acid reflux for up to 15 patients with a 1-year follow-up period. The Omega-shaped nitinol device is placed on top of the esophageal sphincter muscle just above the stomach in a laparoscopic surgical procedure without altering anatomy. In animal studies, the device safely increased the pressure on the sphincter, meaning it increased resistance to acid reflux, but did not interfere with normal food swallowing, meaning food went down to the stomach normally and smoothly. The device is intended to augment the function of the weak sphincter in minimizing acid reflux but allows easy swallowing of food in GERD patients. The clinical feasibility study is to see how well this device functions in patients and to assess its safety profile. This is a permanent implant that will last the lifetime of the patient. The device will not interfere with patients who may need diagnostic MRI scans. The device can be safely removed if needed.
POEM is a minimally invasive endoscopic therapy that is highly efficacy in the treatment of achalasia of any type. POEM has an increased risk of GERD. Systematic PPI therapy has never been studied for the prevention of post-POEM GERD. The investigators wish to retrospectively compare patients who have received routine PPI therapy vs. patients who don't.
After vonoprazan (20mg/day) or esomeprazole (20mg/day) for 4weeks is prescribed for patients with erosive esophagitis diagnosed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy, the number of patients who will visit our outpatient clinic again due to some reasons without any appointments is compared with vonoprazan group and esomeprazole.
