Acute Intrathoracic Migration With Incarceration of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Due to Incomplete Hiatal Hernia Repair.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Concomitant hiatal hernia repair during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is recommended if it is detected. Intrathoracic sleeve migration (ITSM) is a sliding hiatal hernia that develops after LSG. In this article, we present an early ITSM due to an incomplete repair of a hiatal hernia. An obese patient had hiatal hernia in the preoperative endoscopy. After LSG, the defect was repaired with anterior cruroplasty. Vomiting attacks were observed after the operation. Based on clinical signs and radiological findings, laparoscopic exploration was indicated. During the reoperation, an acute entrapment of the upper portion of the sleeve was observed, which had migrated through the hiatus. This suture was undone. There was no gastric ischemia. No additional hiatal repair was attempted. The operation was sufficient to alleviate the symptoms. The patient was discharged on the second postoperative day uneventfully. Until the most recent follow-up, the patient has progressed with adequate weight loss, without complaints of reflux and without proton pump inhibitors ITSM with incarceration is a complication that can occur after incomplete hiatal repair. Failure to perform hiatal repair with proper technique can be attributed to this complication.
