In Brief
An observational study evaluating Gastric bypass for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Morbid Obesity. Completed, enrolled 53 participants across 1 site.

Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Open Silastic® ring Roux-en Y gastric bypass was performed through an upper midline incision. A gastric pouch was created by dividing the stomach with a 10-cm stapler from the lesser curvature (7 cm vertically from the cardia) to 1 cm to the left of the Hiss angle. The estimated volume of the gastric pouch was 20 to 30 ml that was banded with a 6.5 cm long Silastic® ring. A gastrojejunal anastomosis was performed with two-layers hand sewn absorbable suture over a 1.2 cm bougie distal to the ring, keeping an alimentary limb with 100 cm in length, and a biliopancreatic limb ranging 60 and 80 cm.
