A retrospective study assessing RefluxStop surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease: Clinical outcomes in 79 patients from Germany.
Surg Open Sci

Klinikum Friedrichshafen GmbH, Department of Visceral Surgery, Röntgenstraße 2, 88048 Friedrichshafen, Germany.
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.
Transhiatal bilateral cervical approach for mediastinoscopy-assisted esophagectomy: A retrospective cohort study.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new surgical technique called EITHBC for esophagectomy, aimed at addressing limitations of the McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy (McMIE), such as contraindications and high postoperative pulmonary issues.
- In a comparison of 259 patients, the EITHBC group showed a higher average of resected lymph nodes and significantly less intraoperative blood loss than the McMIE group.
- Although EITHBC reduced the rate of postoperative pulmonary complications, it came with a higher risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis compared to McMIE.
Efficacy and Quality of Life with the Modified Versus the Traditional Thoraco-Laparoscopic McKeown Procedure for Esophageal Cancer: A Multicenter Propensity Score-Matched Study.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Gansu Provincial Hospital, Lanzhou, China.
Background: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and postoperative quality of life for patients with esophageal cancer treated by either the modified or the traditional thoracolaparoscopic McKeown procedure.
Methods: This retrospective case-control study included 269 patients with esophageal cancer admitted to three medical centers in China from February 2020 to August 2022. The patients were divided according to surgical method into the layered hand-sewn end-to-end invagination anastomosis group (modified group) and the traditional hand anastomosis group (traditional group).

Update Esophageal Diverticula Esophageal diverticula are rare diseases typically associated pathophysiologically with esophageal dysmotility. The most common location (about 80%) is pharyngo-oesophageal. The therapy must be adapted to the location, the size, the symptoms and also the individual perioperative risk of the patient.

We report the use of the guidewire lasso technique for the removal of an embedded esophageal self-expanding metal stent (SEMS), following a failure of distal to proximal invagination by removal hook caused by stent incorporation. During a removal procedure of an embedded SEMS using the hook retrieval device, the strut fractured and the stent retained. Attempts to pull up the retained stent using hook were not effective.
