Background: Long-term results in antireflux surgery may depend on fundoplication type and wrap length. We compared the outcome of two different wrap lengths among the patients undergoing partial or total fundoplications. This study is the next part of a prospective 5-year follow-up assessment.
Methods: A total of 153 patients were randomized to Nissen or Toupet 1.5- or 3-cm wrap laparoscopic fundoplication. The primary endpoint--treatment failure rate was defined as a recurrent GERD or persistent dysphagia. Intensity of heartburn, dysphagia, gas-bloating, presence of esophagitis were assessed as a secondary outcome at 1-year and 5-year follow-up.
Results: At 5-year follow-up, data were collected from 129 (85 %) patients. At 1-year follow-up, 17 (11 %) treatment failures were detected. At the end of the fifth year, the numbers reached 23 (15 %). The failures were more common in the 1.5-cm Toupet (25 %) and the 3-cm Nissen group (18.2 %). The significant difference in failure rates was found between 1.5-cm and 3-cm Toupet groups (P < 0.05). Dysphagia remained low during the follow-up in all of the groups. The prevalence of higher scores of heartburn after 5 years was detected in Nissen 1.5-cm group (20.8 %). The lowest scores were observed in Toupet 3-cm group. Bloating symptoms were more prevalent among Nissen and Toupet 3-cm group patients at 5-year follow-up. At the end of the fifth year, the prevalence of esophagitis was lower in Nissen 1.5-cm (19.3 %) and Toupet 3-cm (13.3 %) groups. The highest prevalence of esophagitis-32.4 %-was found in Toupet 1.5-cm group.
Conclusions: Nissen and Toupet fundoplication achieved sufficient control of reflux with success rate of 85 % at 5-year follow-up. There were no significant differences in the postoperative dysphagia, esophagitis, and bloating rates. However, the distribution of treatment failures leads us to conclude that 1.5-cm wrap length is insufficient in cases of posterior partial fundoplication.

Article Synopsis
- * Surgical options for repairing HH include open surgery, various laparoscopic methods, transoral incisionless fundoplication, and magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA), with laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication being the preferred standard treatment for GERD-related HH.
- * Newer treatments, like the MSA system and mesh repair, are designed to tailor procedures to individual patients for improved results, as reviewed by current literature from 2014 to 2024.

Background: Most existing literature studies reported that laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) is safe in the setting of ineffective or weak peristalsis. However, the effect of the wrap on esophageal motility is still debated. This study aimed to assess how a functioning and effective fundoplication could affect esophageal motility in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Nissen fundoplication (NF) is a common surgical procedure to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease; however, a subset of patients may continue to experience symptoms or develop symptom recurrence despite a successful procedure. This study aims to compare laparoscopic and robotic approaches for treating failed NF and evaluate the outcomes after converting to Toupet fundoplication (TF). We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent robotic or laparoscopic revision to TF for failed NF between 2016 and 2023.

Article Synopsis
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common but progressive condition that can lead to serious complications, and about 40% of patients don’t respond to proton pump inhibitors as treatment.
- The 360° Nissen fundoplication has been the standard surgical treatment for GERD for 70 years, but partial fundoplications like Toupet and Dor have developed as alternatives to reduce side effects such as dysphagia.
- Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is deemed safe and effective, highlighting the need for tailored approaches in clinics that provide comprehensive care for individual GERD cases.
