Reoperative laparoscopic antireflux surgery
Surgery, 1999Laparoscopic antireflux surgery (LAP) is becoming increasingly used for the surgical treatment of medical recalcitrant gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We sought to determine the utility of remedial LAP approaches to antireflux surgery.From March 1996 to December 1998, 15 patients underwent remedial LAP to manage medically recalcitrant recurrent

Minimally Invasive Antireflux Surgery
The American Journal of Surgery, 1998Previous reports of minimally invasive antireflux surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have been small, short-term series utilizing only a laparoscopic approach. We conducted a retrospective review and report our 66-month experience with more than 1,000 laparoscopic and thoracoscopic antireflux procedures.Between September 1991 and ...

Antireflux Surgery for Dysplastic Barrett
World Journal of Surgery, 2014AbstractIntroductionBarrett’s esophagus (BE) is the result of continuous injury of the esophageal mucosa by gastric refluxate. This condition can progress to low‐grade (LGD) and high‐grade dysplasia (HGD) and eventually to adenocarcinoma. While excellent results are reported in terms of reflux and symptom control in patients with BE undergoing ...

Barrett's Epithelium After Antireflux Surgery
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2005Barrett's epithelium (BE), defined as endoscopically visible, histologically proved intestinal-type epithelium in the esophagus, is considered the ultimate consequence of long-standing gastro(duodeno)esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Recent reports suggest that effective antireflux therapy may promote the regression of this metaplastic process.
