Complications of the Nissen Fundoplication

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1983

Robotic Nissen Fundoplication

European Surgery-Acta Chirurgica Austriaca, 2002
Background: Laparoscopic surgery is beneficial to the patient but challenging for the surgeon. The visual axis is not the same as the operative axis. The surgeon must manipulate long, sharp instruments through a fixed opening under the control of a two-dimensional monitor and without the help of any tactile sensation.

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 ...

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2008
The dissection is started performing a crural dissection with visualization and preservation of both vagus nerves, followed by circumferential dissection of the esophagus at the gastro-esophageal junction. Adequate intra-mediastinal mobilization of the esophagus is performed to obtain 3-4 cm of intra-abdominal esophagus without undue downward traction ...

After this operation symptoms such as dysphagia, inability to belch and vomit, and gas bloating are frequently reported in the literature. In 32 patients who underwent Nissen fundoplication 3.5-18 years ago, postprocedure dysphagia was studied using conventional manometry and 24 h ...
