Modified Nissen fundoplication for reduction of fundoplication failure
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1997Failure of the Nissen fundoplication can be secondary to disruption of the wrap or slippage of the stomach upward within the wrap. A modification of the Nissen fundoplication was devised and implemented between 1982 and 1995 to eliminate these complications. This report describes the modification and the results.

Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1996
Most reports on laparoscopic fundoplication are from large, tertiary referral medical centers. Presented here is an experience by a single surgeon (M.E.F.) in community hospitals with 74 cases. All patients had esophagitis. All but two patients were Visick grade IV off medication. All patients had an incompetent lower esophageal sphicter.

The American Journal of Surgery, 2004
Five percent of patients who undergo fundoplication will require reoperation. The cause of this high failure rate and the best management for these patients remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to identify patterns and causes of failure of primary antireflux procedures.Retrospective review of the medical records of patients who ...

Laparoscopic Fundoplication and Gastrostomy
Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2002Minimally 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 ...

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2003
Fundoplication is the standard surgical approach to gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in a child. Although successful in many patients, there is a significant risk of complications and failure, especially in high-risk patients such as those with certain types of associated anomalies, diffuse motility disorders, chronic pulmonary disease, neurologic ...

Complications of the Nissen Fundoplication
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1983A 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.

Ambulatory laparoscopic fundoplication
Surgical Endoscopy, 1997Increasingly 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 ...

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1998
Symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux in children has been identified with increasing frequency over the last two decades. Agreement regarding the elements of a complete diagnostic work-up and the timing and specific surgical procedures for treating reflux has been difficult to achieve. Laparoscopic fundoplication is a routine procedure in some pediatric

Laparoscopic Rosetti Fundoplication
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1995Early experiences with laparoscopic fundoplication using the Rosetti technique are presented and compared with retrospective results from conventional fundoplication procedures.We have performed 70 consecutive laparoscopic procedures. Conversion to open surgery was done in seven cases because of anatomical reasons and in two because of peroperative ...

Watson fundoplication in children: a comparative study with Nissen fundoplication
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2007Nissen fundoplication is the gold standard antireflux procedure in children. In 1996, one pediatric surgeon adopted the anterior fundoplication described by Watson in 1991. This procedure is reported to achieve good reflux control while permitting burping, active vomiting, and reducing gas bloat.
