Background: Laparoscopic fundoplication has become the standard procedure for surgical management of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Simple cruroplasty is associated with a high recurrence rate and most authors recommend the use of prosthetic meshes for crural closure.
Methods: Herein we report a patient who was admitted with the complaint of severe dysphagia a year after laparoscopic fundoplication with prosthetic hiatal closure.
Results: The patient presented with mesh erosion into the esophagus and required a distal esophageal resection.
Conclusions: This case demonstrates that appropriate surgical technique is important for preventing mesh-related complications. A small-sized mesh should be placed so as to have no contact with the esophagus and should be secured sufficiently to the diaphragmatic crura to avoid the potential complications of mesh reinforcement.

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.

Is Indocyanine Green the New Gold Standard for Checking Completion of Laparoscopic Heller's Cardiomyotomy?

Department of Surgery, Zen Hospital, Mumbai, IND.
Achalasia cardia is a primary motility disorder of the esophagus marked by the absence of peristalsis and the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax during swallowing. The preferred surgical approach is laparoscopic Heller's cardiomyotomy with Dor's fundoplication. Given the significant risks of mucosal perforation and the possibility of incomplete myotomy, which can lead to symptom recurrence, it is essential to ensure both the completeness of the myotomy and the preservation of the mucosal integrity.

Background: Surgical fundoplication remains integral in managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by addressing gastroesophageal valve incompetence. This study introduces a novel hybrid approach, the Eversion Cruroplasty and Collar Overwrap (ECCO) procedure, aiming to combine benefits of conventional partial wrapping and posteromedial cardiopexy, considering gastric fundus anatomical peculiarities as an anti-reflux barrier.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients presenting with refractory GERD from 2021 to 2023 was conducted.
