Project description:BackgroundUpper endoscopy (EGD) is frequently performed in patients with esophageal complaints following anti-reflux surgery such as fundoplication. Endoscopic evaluation of fundoplication wrap integrity can be challenging. Our primary aim in this pilot study was to evaluate the accuracy and confidence of assessing Nissen fundoplication integrity and hiatus herniation among gastroenterology (GI) fellows, subspecialists, and foregut surgeons.MethodsFive variations of post-Nissen fundoplication anatomy were included in a survey of 20 sets of EGD images that was completed by GI fellows, general GI attendings, esophagologists, and foregut surgeons. Accuracy, diagnostic confidence, and inter-rater agreement across providers were evaluated.ResultsThere were 31 respondents in the final cohort. Confidence in pre-survey diagnostics significantly differed by provider type (mean confidence out of 5 was 1.8 for GI fellows, 2.7 for general GI attendings, 3.6 for esophagologists, and 3.6 for foregut surgeons, P = 0.01). The mean overall accuracy was 45.9%, which significantly differed by provider type with the lowest rate among GI fellows (37%) and highest among esophagologists (53%; P = 0.01). The accuracy was highest among esophagologists across all wrap integrity variations. Inter-rater agreement was low across wrap integrity variations (Krippendorf's alpha <0.30), indicating low to no agreement between providers.ConclusionIn this multi-center survey study, GI fellows had the lowest accuracy and confidence in assessing EGD images after Nissen fundoplication, whereas esophagologists had the highest. Diagnostic confidence varied considerably and inter-rater agreement was poor. These findings suggest experience may improve confidence, but highlight the need to improve the evaluation of fundoplication wraps.

Project description:ObjectiveThe study aimed to identify factors that impact timing of gastrostomy placement/removal and Nissen fundoplication (NF) in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).Study designClinical data were reviewed retrospectively from patients recruited from the Johns Hopkins Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Clinic (January 1, 2014-December 31, 2018).ResultsPatients with gastrostomy tubes (GTs) placed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were older at discharge (p < 0.001) and less likely to have abnormal upper gastrointestinal series findings (p = 0.005) than those with GTs placed after NICU discharge. Patients with NF had lower mean gestational ages (p = 0.011), longer NICU stays (p = 0.019), more frequent home ventilation requirements (p = 0.005), and greater likelihood of pulmonary hypertension (p = 0.032) compared with those without. Median age of GT removal was 61.6 months. Patients with GTs were weaned from supplemental oxygen and/or home ventilation before GT removal (p < 0.001).ConclusionPatients with GT/NF were more medically complex than those with GT alone. Patients were more likely to be weaned from home respiratory support before GT removal.Key points· Patients with GT/NF were more medically complex than those with GT alone.. · Patients were more likely to be weaned from home respiratory support before GT removal.. · Patients with GTs placed in NICU were older at discharge and less likely to have abnormal upper gastrointestinal series result..

Project description:Backgrounds/aimsThis multicenter study aims to evaluate the effect and feasibility of anti-reflux surgery compared with medical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).MethodsPatients with GERD who were undergoing medical treatment with proton pump inhibitors for more than 8 weeks and those who were scheduled to undergo anti-reflux surgery were enrolled. Efficacy of pre-operative medical treatment was evaluated retrospectively and effect of anti-reflux surgery was prospectively evaluated at 1 week and 3 months after surgery. Quality of life (QOL) was also investigated before and after surgery.ResultsBetween February and October 2018, 51 patients underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for treating GERD at 5 hospitals in Korea. Thirty-four patients (66.7%) showed poor proton pump inhibitor response. At 3 months after surgery, heartburn was completely resolved in 87.9% patients and partially improved in 9.1%. Acid regurgitation was completely resolved in 82.9% and partially improved in 11.4%. Atypical extraesophageal symptoms were completely controlled in 45.5% and partially controlled in 36.4%. GERD-related QOL scores at 1 week after surgery significantly improved compared with pre-operative scores. There was no difference in GERD-related QOL scores between 1 week and 3 months after surgery. General QOL measured with European QOL-5 dimensions and health-related QOL instrument with 8 items significantly improved after anti-reflux surgery. Satisfaction with treatment was significantly higher after surgery than before surgery (72.5% vs 11.8%, P < 0.001).ConclusionAnti-reflux surgery improved GERD symptoms and QOL in patients. Anti-reflux surgery is an effective treatment option compared with medical treatment for GERD patients selected for surgical treatment.

Project description:IntroductionMagnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) is a novel surgical technique investigated at many clinical institutes worldwide. In 2012, it received approval for treating Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) because of its superior benefits compared to drug therapies. This study aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of MSA compared with Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) for GERD treatment.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 40 patients who received preoperative matching features of MSA and LNF. The surgical details and one-year postoperative outcomes were analyzed and reported.ResultsSignificant improvement in GERD symptoms was observed in both MSA and LNF patients over the one-year surgical follow-up. Dysphagia was a common postoperative complication observed in both procedures, but no cases required endoscopic dilation. MSA had a significantly shorter operative time compared to LNF (112 vs.175 min, P < 0.001), with faster postoperative dietary recovery [1(0.5,1.5) vs. 3(1.63,5.38) month(s), P < 0.001] and more preservation of hiccup ability (87.5% vs. 45.83%, P = 0.01). No significant disparities were observed between the two groups regarding hospital duration, recovery of physical strength, and upper gastrointestinal complaints.ConclusionIn conclusion, both LNF and MSA are safe and successful surgical therapies for GERD. The benefits of MSA include reduced surgical time, quicker nutritional recovery following surgery, and preservation of hiccup capacity. However, with both surgeries, postoperative dysphagia is a prevalent problem that emphasizes the significance of improving preoperative communication. When selecting between two surgical techniques, it is crucial to consider the postoperative symptoms associated with each procedure.

Project description:IntroductionMustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Turkish Republic, had guarded many German scientists of a Jewish descent before the Second World War. Dr. Rudolf Nissen was one of the outstanding surgeons who had served in the Turkish university hospitals. He had created an antireflux procedure which is named after his own name while he was working in our clinic, the Cerrahpaşa Hospital. From a laparoscopic approach, the Nissen fundoplication was the gold standard intervention for the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Currently, video laparoscopic surgery is evolving quickly with the guidance of new technology. Single-port (SP) laparoscopic transumbilical surgery is one of the newest branches of advanced laparoscopy.DiscussionSimple or complex manipulations may be performed with SP laparoscopic transumbilical surgery. The advantages, which are gained from conventional laparoscopy, can be invigorated by an SP laparoscopic approach. The retraction technique of the liver and the optical system were the most important factors, which made the Nissen fundoplication possible via single port. Here, we report that totally laparoscopic transumbilical SP Nissen fundoplication procedure was performed in three patients for sliding hiatal hernia with GERD.ConclusionTotally laparoscopic transumbilical SP Nissen fundoplication is a safe and feasible technique for the surgical treatment of GERD.

Project description:We report a rare case of a patient with a large stone encrusted on a nitinol mesh stent in the ureteropelvic junction. The stent was inserted in the year 2000 after failure of two pyeloplasty procedures performed due to symptomatic ureteropelvic junction stenosis. By combining minimally invasive urinary stone therapies-extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, semirigid ureterorenoscopy with laser lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy-it was possible to completely remove the encrusted stone and nitinol mesh stent that was implanted for 15 years, rendering the patient symptom and obstruction free.

Project description:Endoscopic migrated stent removal using a balloon-assisted enteroscope is technically difficult in patients with bowel reconstruction. We report the treatment outcomes and endoscopic removal methods for migrated stents using a double-balloon enteroscope (DBE). We retrospectively studied 12 patients with stent migration into the main pancreatic duct (MPD) or bile duct who underwent bowel reconstruction between January 2012 and June 2020. The successful removal rates in the MPD (n = 3) and the bile duct (n = 9) were 66.7% (2/3) and 88.9% (8/9), respectively. The removal techniques included the indirect method (n = 3), the direct method (n = 4), and a combination of indirect and direct methods (n = 3). The removal devices included an extraction balloon catheter (n = 7), basket catheter (n = 5), biopsy forceps (n = 3), and snare (n = 2). Stent removal using a DBE was feasible and useful as the first treatment for patients with bowel reconstruction. The choice of the direct and/or indirect method according to the situation of the migrated stent is important.
