Identify the clinical indications for conversion from sleeve gastrectomy to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in patients with refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), explain the anatomic and physiologic mechanisms contributing to GERD after sleeve gastrectomy, evaluate preoperative and intraoperative risk factors associated with persistent or recurrent reflux following conversion to RYGB, and assess the effectiveness of RYGB conversion in alleviating GERD symptoms and guiding patient selection for revisional bariatric surgery.
