Laparoscopic Fundoplication and Gastrostomy

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2002
Minimally invasive surgical approaches to various pediatric surgical disease processes are becoming the standard of care. Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is transitioning toward the preferred method for the surgical correction of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) disease in infants and children that do not respond to medical management or have ...

Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication

Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1993
A technique for laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is described and a series of 11 cases is presented. The technique secures the patient to the operating table with three safety straps and the patient is then placed in a reverse Trendelenburg position with the hips flexed.

Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2020
GERD is a spectrum disorder, and treatment should be individualized to the patient's anatomic alterations. Trans-oral incisionless fundoplication (TIF 2.0) is an endoscopic procedure which reduces EGJ distensibility, thereby decreasing tLESRs, and also creates a 3-cm high pressure zone at the distal esophagus in the configuration of a flap valve. As it

An Evaluation of the Nissen Fundoplication

Radiology, 1976
The characteristic radiological findings which follow a Nissen fundoplication are reviewed. The esophagus may be narrowed but is intrinsically normal. A pseudotumor at the medial aspect of the fundus is generally present. The history and radiographic findings can normally differentiate this defect from neoplasm or a nonoperated hiatal hernia ...

Ambulatory laparoscopic fundoplication

Surgical Endoscopy, 1997
Increasingly larger series of laparoscopic fundoplications (LF) are being reported. A well-documented advantage of the laparoscopic approach is shortened hospital stay. Most centers report typical lengths of stay (LOS) for LF of 2-3 days. Our success with LF with a LOS of 1 day led to an attempt at performing LF on an ambulatory basis.Sixty-one ...

Gastrointestinal complications of fundoplication

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2005
In children with medically refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), fundoplication is effective and safe. However, in a subset of patients, gastrointestinal dysfunction occurs postoperatively. Symptoms include chest pain, persistent dysphagia in 5%, gas bloat in 2% to 4%, diarrhea in up to 20%, and dumping syndrome in up to 30%.

Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication

Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 2010
This article and video presents our Toupet procedure. It is a modern adaptation of Toupet's original technique. Toupet described his technique of fundoplication in 1963 (Toupet, Mem Aca Chir 89:394, 1963). He had little experience but saw the importance of a partial wrap to avoid postoperative dysphagia.

Complications of the Nissen Fundoplication

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1983
A more astute selection of patients and greater attention to technical details will preclude most complications. The first step is standardizing the technique, with avoidance of unnecessary ancillary maneuvers. Equally important is a thorough preoperative evaluation.

Dysphagia following fundoplication: "slipped" fundoplication versus achalasia complicated by fundoplication.

The American journal of gastroenterology, 1990
Failure to obtain preoperative esophageal manometry in patients being considered for antireflux surgery can result in immediate persistent postoperative dysphagia due to a missed diagnosis of achalasia. We describe the clinical assessment and management of a case of delayed postoperative dysphagia due to a "slipped" fundoplication, which is contrasted ...

Robotic fundoplication in children

Pediatric Surgery International, 2006
Since January 2006, robotic assistance has been used for performing minimal invasive laparoscopic fundoplications in children. These patients were compared with those operated on with either the open surgical technique or the laparoscopic procedure. The first six children operated on with a fundoplication using the operation robot, da Vinci Surgical ...
