Abstract INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic Fundoplication (LF) as a treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has positive clinical outcomes. However, postoperative dysphagia (PD) may appear as a side effect. Our objective is to analyze PD in patients operated on for LF in our center. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective and descriptive study of patients operated on for GERD from September 1997 to February 2019. RESULTS 248 patients (60.5% men), with a mean age of 49.7 (21-82), were operated. 66.1% of the patients presented associated comorbidities, highlighting obesity (19.8%). 75% manifested typical symptoms, 19% presenting with Barrett’s esophagus. Sliding hiatal, paraesophageal, mixed and complex hernia were diagnosed in 151 (60.9%), 23 (9.3%), 12 (4.8%), and 4 (1.6%) patients, respectively. The LF Nissen was the most frequent technique (91.5%), using a caliper in 46% of the cases. PD was the most frequent symptom, present in 57 (23%) patients. It was resolved with dilation in 9 patients, requiring 6 patients surgical reintervention. In those PD cases, a caliper was used in 28 (49.1%) patients, without finding significant differences between them (P = .586). Nor were there significant differences between PD and obesity (P = .510), type of hiatal hernia (P = .326), or surgical technique (P = .428). After a median follow-up of 50.5 months, quality of life was classified as Visick I-II, III, and IV in 76.6%, 6.9% and 1.2% of the cases, respectively. CONCLUSION No association between PD and the use of calipers, surgical technique or type of hiatal hernia was found in our series.

Analysis of esophageal pH is useful and recommended by specialists when the gastroesophageal reflux disease does not show specific symptoms such as chest pain or burnings, but a form of asthma and chronic cough. The investigation is performed after a mild anesthesia, inserting a thin and flexible catheter in the patient�s nostril; it reaches the esophagus, particularly the esophageal sphincter that connects the stomach to the esophagus. The catheter has a sensor that monitors the acidity level, the number of reflux episodes, their duration and the part of the esophagus reached by the acid in the stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease is frequently met in pediatric practice, rooting in the intrauterine life, a physiologic phenomenon in infants during the first semester of life.

Abstract   Hiatal hernia recurrence (HHR) after surgical repair associated with dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease or other symptoms represents a non-negligible disease that frequently needs a reoperative solution. The repair of a relapsed hiatal hernia represents a surgical challenge due to anatomic changes and fibrosis, and the robotic approach seems to provide benefits because offers enhanced visualization and dexterity. Methods Between June 2019 and February 2021, 7 patients (1 male, 6 female) underwent redo robotic approach surgery for hiatal hernia recurrence after being pre operative diagnosed. All surgeries were elective and all patients had both clinical and radiologic recurrence. Biosynthetic tissue absorbable mesh was applied in one patient with double time recurrence hernia. Four patients underwent total fundoplication (Nissen), 2 patients had Toupet fundoplication, and one patient had hiatus repair without fundoplication. Results The mean age of the patients was 62.7 years and the main expressed symptom for the patient was dysphagia. Time to clinical recurrence was 13 months. Biosynthetic mesh was used in one patient. The mean operative time was 143 minutes (80–240) and no intraoperative complications were described. There were no conversions to open or laparoscopic procedures. The early and 30 day mortality rate was 0% and mean hospital stay was 2.7 days. Conclusion Robotic support, when available, can be beneficial in redo surgery for GERD and hiatal hernia recurrence. Despite our short experience, we believe the robotic approach for redo hiatal surgery is safe and effective with low complication rates even in high-risk patients.
