| Abstract: | Optimal management of coexisting morbid obesity and gastroesophageal reflux is not known. Silastic ring vertical gastroplasty is an effective treatment for morbid obesity, and Nissen fundoplication is effective in treating gastroesophageal reflux. We combined these two procedures in an animal model and found protection against gastroesophageal reflux without any deleterious effects on pouch emptying. |
