Revisional Surgery for Failed Antireflux Surgery
Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2010The outcome and morbidity of revisional surgery after antireflux surgery has been suggested to be suboptimal compared with primary repair. Therefore, an individualized therapeutic approach based on exact analysis of the reasons for failure of the initial procedure is essential for successful management of these patients.

Complications of antireflux surgery
The American Journal of Surgery, 1993In order to determine the in-hospital morbidity and mortality rates of antireflux surgery in a community hospital setting, a retrospective 10-year review of 355 antireflux procedures was conducted. A modified Nissen fundoplication, with an incomplete fundal wrap, was the most common operation performed.

Minerva chirurgica, 2009
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is extremely common throughout Europe and the United States. This review on antireflux surgery examines the best evidence for surgical treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Comparison is made with medical antireflux therapy including histamine H2 receptor antagonist and proton pump inhibitor therapy.

Laparoscopic antireflux surgery.
Seminars in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 1997Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is a safe and effective alternative surgical approach for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, the same rigorous evaluation required for open fundoplication is mandated for patients undergoing laparoscopic antireflux surgery. For successful laparoscopic antireflux surgery, both the mastery of

Gastric emptying and antireflux surgery
Pediatric Surgery International, 2010Absence of consistent data on the outcome of gastric emptying after fundoplication raises concerns about preoperative workup and surgical management. This study assessed how gastric emptying evolves after isolated fundoplication in order to determine whether a preoperative investigation and/or a concurrent gastric drainage procedure are justified ...

Computer-Assisted Robotic Antireflux Surgery
Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2002Antireflux surgery has evolved significantly since its inception 50 years ago. The current standard is laparoscopic fundoplication. The computer-assisted telemanipulator, a new device recently approved for use in laparoscopy, reduces some of the shortcomings of the laparoscopic approach.
