Technical Considerations in Laparoscopic Fundoplication

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease and can be successfully treated by laparoscopic fundoplication. This article describes the technique of laparoscopic surgery for GERD with a focus on operative pitfalls.     

Laparoscopic treatment of giant paraoesophageal hernias

Summary The authors report their experience of laparoscopic repair of large paraoesophageal hernias (POH). From February 1994 to January 1997, nine patients with a large POH containing at least 50% of the stomach have been treated laparoscopically. The surgical procedure included reduction of the herniated stomach, closure of the hiatal orifice, and construction of a circular fundoplication. There was no conversion into open surgery. One case of postoperative atelectasis was seen (morbidity: 12.5%). Postoperative X-Ray demonstrated the restoration of a normal anatomical arrangements as well as an effective anti-reflux fundoplication. Laparoscopy makes it possible to safely and efficiently repair large POHs with an acceptable morbidity. However, this type of operation requires a good training in laparoscopic surgery.

Gastric necrosis following a hiatal hernia: A case report

IntroductionGastric volvulus are rare. Complications can be life threatening, including necrosis and perforation. Assessment of mucosal viability is essential, and urgent surgical intervention is mandatory in case of vascular compromise.Presentation of caseAn 72-year-old female known for a paraesophageal hiatal hernia was admitted at our emergency department with acute abdominal pain. Blood count demonstrated leukocytosis and increased C-reactive protein. Abdominal computed tomography showed a mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. Urgent upper endoscopy revealed mucosal ischemia, which prompted immediate laparotomy with partial gastrectomy, cruroplasty, and Dor fundoplication. Postoperative course was uneventful.DiscussionGastric volvulus is initially treated with nasogastric tube decompression, but definitive treatment is achieved surgically. When there is an associated hernia, closing the anatomical defect and fundoplication should be performed. Complication such as necrosis is associated with a high mortality, and requires urgent surgical repair.ConclusionGastric volvulus can be life-threatening. Urgent endoscopic or surgical assessment should be conducted to assess mucosal viability.     

3D打印Dry Lab模型在腹腔镜胃底折叠手术教学中的应用

3D打印模型的腹腔镜下手术培训寻是一种新颖、教学成本低、效果好的教学方法，一定程度上弥补传统教育和实践操作教育之间的不足。利用3D抗反流手术模型在腹腔镜下完成胃底折叠手术学习曲线，对于外科医师手术技术的提高将有极大的帮助，同时也可以弥补由于手术量不足及患者个体解剖变异所带来的手术难度及风险的提升，有利于规避患者术中和术后并发症的发生，为手术规范化标准化提供保证。     

腹腔镜180°前胃底折叠术治疗胃食管反流性疾病的长期随访结果

目的评价腹腔镜180。前胃底折叠术治疗胃食管反流性疾病的远期效果。方法2004年7月至2007年9月,48例胃食管反流性疾病患者接受腹腔镜180。前胃底折叠术,术后3个月、12个月、3年、5年及之后每年通过电话或邮寄信件以标准化问卷的形式,对其进行随访,评估烧心、吞咽困难等症状以及术后并发症、整体满意度情况。结果获得43例随访数据,随访时间60～98个月,平均78个月。最近的一次随访结果显示：37例烧心症状消失或偶尔出现,40例患者可正常嗳气,38例患者可以正常进食,39例（90．7％）患者对术后效果满意。2例患者分别于术后12个月和38个月因反酸再次行腹腔镜胃底折叠术手术,效果良好。结论腹腔镜180。前胃底折叠术治疗胃食管反流性疾病是一种持久有效的术式,大多数患者对术后长期效果满意。     

腹腔镜下食管裂孔疝修补联合胃底折叠术治疗食管裂孔疝及长期疗效的评估

目的观察分析腹腔镜下食管裂孔疝修补联合Nissen/Dor胃底折叠术治疗食管裂孔疝临床疗效及食管测压与pH值监测对长期疗效的预估意义。 方法回顾性分析2018年1月至2020年1月于河北北方学院附属第二医院收治的120例食管裂孔疝患者的临床资料,其中64例行腹腔镜下食管裂孔疝修补联合Nissen胃底折叠术（Nissen组）,56例行腹腔镜下食管裂孔疝修补联合Dor胃底折叠术（Dor组）。术后随访1年,对比观察2组患者手术情况、住院时间、术后并发症、记录食管测压及pH检测等指标变化情况、Gerd Q、DeMeester评分等。 结果Nissen组术程以及术中出血量明显高于Dor组（P<0.05）,2组总住院时间差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。2组患者术后总并发症发生率比较,差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）;2组患者术后1年食管反流情况与DeMeester评分较术前均得到明显改善。Nissen组在减少反流次数、长反流次数和最长反流时间方面均优于Dor组（P<0.05）。2组在反流时间、酸反流时间百分比与DeMeester评分比较,差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）;术后2组患者食管下括约肌压力、静息呼吸平均值、食管残余压较术前均显著提升（P<0.05）,但2组间术后比较无明显差异（P>0.05）。术后2组患者食管松弛率、无效吞咽与Gerd Q评分均较术前也均明显降低,但2组间差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。 结论腹腔镜疝修补术联合Nissen或Dor胃底折叠术治疗食管裂孔疝均有明显效果,临床应根据患者自身情况选择合适的手术方式。     

Comparison of long-term outcomes between open and laparoscopic Thal fundoplication in children

Objectives

In recent years laparoscopic fundoplication is increasingly performed in pediatric surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes between open and laparoscopic Thal fundoplication in children.

Methods

This retrospective study includes children who underwent a Thal fundoplication between 3/1997 and 7/2009. The minimum follow-up time to enter the study was 2 years; the overall median follow-up was 77 months (range, 29–176 months).

Results

A total of 101 patients were included, of which 47 underwent an open and 54 a laparoscopic Thal. Intraoperative problems, early postoperative complications, time to establish enteral feeds and length of stay did not differ among both groups. The mean duration of surgery was significantly less in the open group (OPG) (108.0 (± 7.72) versus 144.1 (± 6.36) minutes; p = 0.001) and this was mainly attributed to patients with neurological problems. Severe dysphagia requiring endoscopy was observed in 10 patients, but this did not differ significantly between groups (n = 2 in the OPG vs. n = 8 in the laparoscopic group (LAPG); p = 0.10). Overall 12 patients (11.9%) (6 in each group) required a redo-fundoplication after a median of 18.7 months (range, 6–36 months). In the whole study group, 80 patients (79.2%) were classified as having surgical results being excellent, good or satisfactory and this did not differ significantly between groups.

Conclusions

In the long-term open and laparoscopic Thal fundoplication have similarly good outcomes. The laparoscopic approach can be considered as an alternative, however there is not a clear superiority compared with the open counterpart.
