The American Journal of Surgery, 1987
We evaluated 77 consecutive patients who had undergone horizontal gastroplasty over a 2 year period. Mean follow-up was 26 months (88 percent of patients) and ranged from 15 to 45 months. There were no operative deaths. Early complications were common.

Gastric Mucosal Changes following Gastroplasty: A Comparative Study between Vertical Banded Gastroplasty and Silastic Ring Vertical Gastroplasty

Obesity Surgery, 1995
BACKGROUND: Long-term changes of gastric mucosa following surgery for morbid obesity have never been studied, to the best of our knowledge. As 31 patients in our series presented with various gastrointestinal complaints following surgery, we used this opportunity to study mucosal changes.

Reflux Control Following Gastroplasty

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1977
A Belsey gastroplasty was performed on 135 patients, 132 of whom were available for follow-up. Despite a low incidence (1.5%) of anatomical recurrence, the operation failed to control reflux effectively, and the incidence of continued reflux is 44.6%. Because of this failure to control reflux, a Nissen fundoplication has been added to the gastroplasty ...

Collis gastroplasty: Origin and evolution

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1990
In 1957 J. Leigh Collis published his innovative operation for treating the difficult problem of the irreducible hiatal hernia, esophagitis, and stricture. The design of the operation was based on the relatively primitive understanding of hiatal hernia and the newly emerging concept of reflux esophagitis. A variety of antireflux operations by different

A technique for gastroplasty as a substitute for the esophagus: fundus rotation gastroplasty.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 1996
A new method of gastroplasty for the intrathoracic esophagus is described that requires resection of a small part of the gastric corpus only. All tributaries of the arterial arcade along the lesser curvature are preserved.The resulting gastric tube has three advantages over conventional techniques: an increase in length of the resulting gastric tube ...

Gastroplasty in Morbid Obesity: Observations in 300 Patients

Southern Medical Journal, 1985
Morbid obesity is associated with a number of life-threatening complications. Medical treatment of morbid obesity is rarely successful. Gastric reduction has replaced intestinal bypass as the surgical treatment of choice. Indications for operation are fairly standardized, and complications and results are similar in most large series.

UNCUT COLLIS-NISSEN GASTROPLASTY

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995
Surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux because of an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter and obstructive symptoms owing to a partial or incomplete intrathoracic stomach has evolved tremendously over the past several decades. Currently, there are several different techniques to improve the abnormalities caused by these defects, of which the ...

Silastic RingVertical Gastroplasty by Minilaparotomy

Obesity Surgery, 2000
The incision length has significant influence on the postoperative course after silastic ring vertical gastroplasty (SRVG).A technique is described in which SRVG can be performed through a minilaparotomy incision.110 patients were operated with this technique during 1996.
