Repair of hiatal hernias to avoid such circumstances has been commonly performed, although recurrences may occur resulting in migration of gastric sleeve into the thorax, which is now a well-known complication. We report four cases of post-sleeve gastrectomy patients who presented with reflux symptoms, with their contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen showing intrathoracic sleeve migration and had hypotensive lower oesophageal sphincter with normal body motility on their oesophageal manometry. A laparoscopic revision Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery with hiatal hernia repair was performed for all four of them. No post-operative complications were seen at 1-year follow-up. Laparoscopic reduction of migrated sleeve with posterior cruroplasty and conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery can be safely performed for patients presenting with reflux symptoms in cases of intra-thoracic sleeve migration with good short-term outcomes.\n
