Abstract

Although it is uncommon, gastroesophageal reflux disease can present after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and it is usually related to technical errors. Hiatal hernia, a narrow calibrated gastrojejunostomy and a long gastric pouch are all factors associated with the development of pathologic gastroesophageal reflux. Techniques are available to treat this condition, such as fundoplications with the gastric remnant, gastropexy to the arcuate ligament, teres ligament repair, or sphincter augmentation with the LINX device.

Despite the growing number of reports of gastroesophageal reflux after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, it should be still considered the best surgical option for patients with obesity and a large hiatal hernia or complications secondary to gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Keywords:
Gastroesophageal reflux
Gastric bypass
Hiatal hernia
Anastomotic stricture
Resumen

La enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico se puede presentar tras bypass gástrico en Y de Roux, en general secundariamente a defectos técnicos. La hernia de hiato, la anastomosis calibrada estrecha y la mayor longitud de los reservorios son las causas fundamentales de reflujo. Aunque difícil, existen posibilidades técnicas para la resolución del reflujo tras bypass, como son la confección de técnicas antirreflujo con el remanente gástrico, las pexias al ligamento arcuato o con el ligamento redondo, o la implantación del dispositivo magnético LINX.

A pesar de la publicación de casos aislados de reflujo, el bypass gástrico laparoscópico debe seguir siendo considerado la mejor técnica bariátrica en el seno de un reflujo patológico, de una hernia de hiato voluminosa, o de complicaciones del reflujo.

Palabras clave:
Bypass gástrico
Reflujo gastroesofágico
Hernia de hiato
Estenosis anastomótica
