Open Nissen fundoplication has been established as an effective treatment in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Progress in minimally invasive surgery has given the chance of performing laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. The short-term results are encouraging and its outcome promising. The need for long-term medication ceases and it has already widely replaced the open procedure. Furthermore, the laparoscopic procedure can achieve the repair of any hiatal defect present. Thorough preoperative evaluation is imperative, because it determines the indication for surgery as well as the sort of operation. The laparoscopic procedure ensures a meticulous dissection and full mobilization of the lower oesophagus. These preconditions are of great importance in performing safely a floppy wrap. The method could be followed by complications or failure. Appropriately designed modern equipment is necessary. Thus, much experience and adequate training are required for the perfect application of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is more cost-effective than open Nissen fundoplication in children.
Pediatr Surg Int

Department of Women's and Children's Health, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
Background: Nissen fundoplication is one of the most common surgical procedures for gastroesophageal reflux. Current and previous research comparing laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) versus open Nissen fundoplication (ONF) in children suggest ambiguous conclusions. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the outcome for children operated with LNF or ONF at our institution and to evaluate the economic aspects.

Background: This study reports outcomes of the RefluxStop procedure treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in clinical practice at a high-volume regional hospital in Germany.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 79 patients with chronic GERD that underwent the RefluxStop procedure, comprising high mediastinal dissection, loose cruroplasty, esophagogastroplication between vagal trunks, and fundus invagination of the RefluxStop implant. The primary outcome was GERD Health-Related Quality-of-Life (GERD-HRQL) score and improvement from baseline.

This article highlights some advances in visceral surgery in 2024. In the hepato-pancreato-biliary field, liquid biopsies, immunotherapy, and robotics have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment, while artificial intelligence could enhance planning and operational safety. In endocrine surgery, a more conservative approach is recommended for well-differentiated thyroid cancers.

January 2025
Prisma Health Upstate Department of Surgery, Greenville, SC.
Background: The concomitant hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (c-TIF) is a novel anti-reflux procedure that addresses the hiatus and the gastro-esophageal flap valve for surgical candidates with GERD. We aim to compare the outcomes of a hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (TIF) vs surgical partial fundoplication (anterior and posterior) with regards to quality-of-life scores at 12 months after surgery.
Study Design: Following IRB approval, a prospectively maintained anti-reflux database was retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who underwent a c-TIF procedure or a surgical hiatal hernia repair with partial fundoplication.
