A protonpumpagátlók (protonpumpa-inhibitorok, PPI) bevezetése új fejezetet nyitott a gastrooesophagealis refluxbetegség (gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD) kezelésében. A betegek kisebb, de nem jelentéktelen hányadában azonban a PPI sem hatékony. Ilyen esetekben az első kérdés mindig az, hogy a tünetek valóban GERD-nek tulajdoníthatók-e, vagy egyéb betegség után kell kutatnunk. Ha a GERD a legvalószínűbb lehetőség, akkor a további vizsgálatok és a több támadáspontú kezelés előtt fel kell térképeznünk a beteg együttműködését (compliance). Ha az eredménytelen PPI-kezelés hátterében nem helytelenül kezelt GERD áll, akkor számos egyéb kórkép lehetőségét is fel kell vetnünk. Összefoglaló közleményünkben az elkülönítő diagnosztikai kérdésekről adunk áttekintést.

Objective Sleeve gastrectomy is the fastest growing surgical procedure to treat obesity in the world but it may cause or worsen gastroesophageal reflux disease. This article originally aimed to describe the addition of anti-reflux procedures (removal of periesophageal fats pads, hiatoplasty, a small plication and fixation of the gastric remnant in position) to the usual sleeve gastrectomy and to report early and late results. Methods Eighty-eight obese patients that also presented symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease were submitted to sleeve gastrectomy with anti-reflux procedures. Fifty of them were also submitted to a transit bipartition. The weight loss of these patients was compared to consecutive 360 patients previously submitted to the usual sleeve gastrectomy and to 1,140 submitted to sleeve gastrectomy + transit bipartition. Gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms were specifically inquired in all anti-reflux sleeve gastrectomy patients and compared to the results of the same questionnaire applied to 50 sleeve gastrectomy patients and 60 sleeve gastrectomy + transit bipartition patients that also presented preoperative symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Results In terms of weight loss, excess of body mass index loss percentage after anti-reflux sleeve gastrectomy is not inferior to the usual sleeve gastrectomy and anti-reflux sleeve gastrectomy + transit bipartition is not inferior to sleeve gastrectomy + transit bipartition. Anti-reflux sleeve gastrectomy did not add morbidity but significantly diminished gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms and the use of proton pump inhibitors to treat this condition. Conclusion The addition of anti-reflux procedures, such as hiatoplasty and cardioplication, to the usual sleeve gastrectomy did not add morbidity neither worsened the weight loss but significantly reduced the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms as well as the use of proton pump inhibitors.

Background and Aim: In gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the additive effect of mosapride to a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is still controversial. This meta-analysis integrated randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which mosapride combined with a PPI was compared with a PPI alone in GERD treatment. Methods: RCTs were systematically searched with the PubMed, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and the Igaku-Chuo-Zasshi database. We combined the data from the RCTs with a random effects model, calculated the standardized mean difference (SMD) and pooled the risk difference (RD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: We included nine RCTs in the present meta-analysis. In the mosapride combined with PPI group, the improvement of the symptom score was significantly greater than that in the PPI alone group without significant heterogeneity (SMD: −0.28, 95% CI: −0.45 to −0.12, p = 0.0007). In the mosapride combined with PPI group, the symptom score after treatment was significantly lower than that in the PPI alone group (SMD: −0.24, 95% CI: −0.42 to −0.06, p = 0.007). Conclusions: Mosapride combined with a PPI significantly improved the reflux symptom score compared with that of PPI alone.
