چکیده
BACKGROUND The recurrence of the gastroesophageal reflux disease may be related to later postoperative weight gain, therefore increasing the chances of developing columnar metaplasia and cancer. The gastric plication associated with fundoplication can be employed in order to be treating the two issues. AIM To evaluate the serum ghrelin hormone in pre and postoperatively as well as weight loss and control of reflux disease in patients undergoing gastroplication associated with fundoplication. METHODS Was performed laparoscopic gastric plication with fundoplication in eight patients; endoscopic examinations were performed pre and postoperatively as well as blood collection for ghrelin hormonal dosage. RESULTS There was control of reflux symptoms and mucosal lesions. Weight loss was significant. Since the change of the hormone ghrelin was not of great significance. CONCLUSIONS Gastric plication associated with fundoplication was effective in treating reflux disease with surgical indication and for weight loss in obese patients. Appetite control occurs, but not due to ghrelin, because no significant decrease of its plasmatic levels was observed.

BACKGROUND The nutritional status of gastric cancer patients is an important factor determining the outcome after a gastrectomy. Ghrelin is produced primarily in the gastrointestinal tract including the stomach, and has been reported to reflect the nutritional status and control homeostasis by influencing the level of food intake and adiposity. This study examined the difference in the plasma a...
