Background: Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication has become the gold standard surgical procedure for management of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Nissen fundoplication provides an effective barrier against reflux. The aim of this study was to evaluate early postoperative outcomes of a different surgical technique, laparoscopic fundoplication with double sided posterior gastropexy.
Methods: Data of 46 patients who underwent laparoscopic fundoplication with double sided posterior gastropexy between February 2010 and December 2011 were collected. Surgically, after Nissen fundoplication was completed, 2-4 sutures were passed through the uppermost parts of the posterior and anterior wall of the gastric wrap and then passed gently 1 cm above the celiac artery from the denser fibers of uppermost part of the arcuate ligament. Demographic data, preoperative and postoperative assesments of sympthomatic and functional outcomes of patients were recorded. Length of hospital stay, operative time, early postoperative complications and complications at 1 year follow up, early recurrence rate were also recorded.
Results: This technique resulted in good symptomatic and clinical outcomes. Only one patient out of 45 patients was reoperated. The early recurrence rate was 2.2%.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication with double sided posterior gastropexy may prevent paraesophageal herniation. It is a reasonably feasible and effective method in surgical management of GERD.

Background: There is an upward shift in the incidence and localization of gastric cancer (GC). Proximal gastrectomy (PG) has been advocated as an alternative operation for upper-third GC. An uneventful postoperative course is currently measured using a well-defined textbook outcome (TO), which represents a composite of surgical quality metrics.

Background/aim: The optimal reconstruction method for laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) remains controversial. The present study aimed to compare short-term outcomes, including assessment of nutritional parameters and skeletal muscle, between two different methods, double-tract reconstruction (DTR) versus esophagogastrostomy (EG).
Patients And Methods: Data from patients who underwent LPG for gastric tumor(s) between 2018 and 2021, were retrospectively analyzed.

Background And Aims: Based on the porcine natural antireflux mechanism, we developed a novel endoscopic procedure to build an antireflux mucosal flap to block acid reflux and treat GERD.
Methods: The antireflux mucosal valvuloplasty (ARMV) procedure is performed by releasing and reconstructing three-fourths of the circumference of cardiac mucosa at the lesser curvature side into a double-layer mucosal flap. The mucosal flap works together with cardiac scarring to block reflux.

Background: Due to its nutritional advantages over total gastrectomy, proximal gastrectomy (PG) with anti-reflux techniques has gained significant attention in East Asian countries in recent years. The double flap technique (DFT) and modified side overlap and fundoplication by Yamashita (mSOFY) are two promising anti-reflux interventions following PG. However, anastomotic stenosis after DFT and gastroesophageal reflux after mSOFY have been reported in several patients.

Background: There is no standard reconstruction method following proximal gastrectomy, of which gastroesophageal reflux and anastomotic complications are of great concern. Though several techniques have been devised to overcome these postoperative complications, such as double tract reconstruction, double-flap technique and side overlap fundoplication by Yamashita, none of them is considered a perfect solution. Herein, we designed a novel method of esophagogastrostomy after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG), named right-sided overlap and single-flap valvuloplasty (ROSF).
