Revision of failed traditional fundoplication using EsophyX® transoral fundoplication [PDF]
Laparoscopic revision of failed traditional fundoplication is difficult and involves risk of gastric, esophageal, and vagal nerve injury that is higher than that of the primary fundoplication. This study assessed feasibility and clinical outcomes of the transoral approach to revision of loose Nissen.Between November 2009 and August 2011, a total of 11 ...

Laparoscopic fundoplication [PDF]
The effectiveness of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) was assessed in patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using pH study and different quality-of-life indexes. We correlated both types of data and hypothesised that improvement in quality of life following LNF does not necessarily correlate with improvement in pH values ...

Whey- vs Casein-Based Enteral Formula and Gastrointestinal Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy. [PDF]
Objectives: Children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) commonly have gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. Whey-based enteral formulas have been postulated to reduce gastroesophageal reflux (GOR) and accelerate gastric emptying (GE).

Paraesophageal hernia: to fundoplicate or not? [PDF]
The need for an antireflux procedure during repair of a paraesophageal hernia (PEH) has been the subject of a long-standing controversy. With most centers now performing routine fundoplication during PEH repair, high-quality data on whether crural repair alone or using a mesh may provide adequate anti-reflux effect is still scarce.
