AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A 63-year-old female with a Nissen funduplication that was diagnosed nine years previously presented with abdominal pain, weight loss and occasional dysphagia of a few months duration. A computed tomography (CT) scan identified an extensive gastric tumor with a subtle curvature and cardia with distal esophagus circumferential enlargement. Gastroscopy identified gastric linitis plastica with many attached residues. The biopsy was compatible with inflammatory changes. A linear echoendoscopy identified an area at the cardia level that was compatible with a foreign body with a lineal hyperechoic irregular focus.

Aim: To analyze morbility, mortality and neonatal intensive care management in CDH patients who required a prosthetic patch to close the diaphragmatic defects, and to compare these results with those who were made a primary closure.
Material And Methods: We reviewed the clinical charts of CDH patients managed at our institution between January 1994 and December 2006, including demographic data, clinical management, treatment options, complications and mortality. Appropriate statistical tests were used to evaluate the data: mortality, need of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), days of intubation, days of total parenteral nutrition (TPN), days of admission, reherniation, need of Nissen funduplication and intestinal obstruction; a p value less than 0.

Background: We undertook this study to identify the main causes leading to a failed funduplication and to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of reoperation by laparoscopic approach.
Methods: A retrospective and descriptive study was carried out with a review of patient charts. Patients were reoperated for failed antireflux surgery between January 1999 and September 2004.
