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 ...

Laparoscopic reoperative antireflux surgery
Surgical Endoscopy, 2001Antireflux operations for gastroesophageal reflux disease whether performed open or laparoscopically can fail and may require reoperation to control new, recurrent symptoms or operation-related complications. We report our experience with the laparoscopic reoperation for failed antireflux procedures.Between 1995 and 2000, 37 patients underwent ...

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 ...

Complications and Antireflux Medication Use After Antireflux Surgery
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2006Although antireflux surgery is increasingly common, few studies have assessed the associated complications and health care use after surgery. The aim of this study was to estimate postoperative complications and continued use of antireflux medications and to identify predictors of complications.Through a review of the Department of Veterans Affairs ...

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.

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.

Current GERD Reports, 2007
More than 50 years have passed since Rudolf Nissen astutely noticed the effects of his gastroplication on prevention of gastroesophageal reflux. Much progress has been made in understanding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
