Thank you to Dr. Dalkılıç for his letter to the editor regarding our article “Impact
of concurrent hiatal hernia repair during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on patient-reported
gastroesophageal reflux symptoms: a state-wide analysis.” Your expressed interest
in our work and your thoughtful feedback on our manuscript continues to move the conversation
regarding this important topic forward. To summarize, our study looked to contribute
to an area that has great debate in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and which
still remains under active investigation: the identification of, and repair of, hiatal
hernia at the time of sleeve gastrectomy.

- Comment on: Bariatric revisional surgery for gastrogastric fistula following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass positively impacts weight lossSurgery for Obesity and Related Diseases
- PreviewSince the adoption of stapled Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), the incidence of gastrogastric fistula (GGF) has decreased to 1.2%, but it remains a dreadful complication and an important cause of weight loss failure [1]. The main purpose of this study by Pina et al. [2] was weight loss outcome after revisional surgery for GGF, which was unique, and the authors investigated the largest sample size with 105 patients [2]. It is worth knowing about GGF while reading this paper, although the analyzed data were derived from retrospective observation because the results comprehensively covered the etiology of GGF and perioperative and weight loss outcomes following revisional surgery with 18 years of follow-up of 105 patients.
