Key Points

• De novo GERD after sleeve gastrectomy is a well-known post-operative side effect that may lead to revisional surgery such as a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

• Usage of magnetic sphincter augmentation is an option for control of GERD; however, it is unknown whether or not this could be performed concomitantly with sleeve gastrectomy.

• Our study shows that the area of the sleeve gastrectomy staple line has limited bacterial contamination. Therefore, one of the concerns of device placement during sleeve gastrectomy, bacterial infection, may be less of a concern than previously considered.
