Background: Laparoscopic fundoplication is the gold standard operation for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It has been suggested that persistent postoperative dysphagia is increased following Nissen fundoplication compared to partial fundoplication. This study aimed to determine risk factors for persistent postoperative dysphagia, specifically examining the type of fundoplication.
Methods: Patients experiencing GERD symptoms who underwent laparoscopic Nissen, Toupet, or Dor fundoplication from 2009 to 2016 were identified from a single-institutional database. A dysphagia score was obtained as part of the GERD health-related quality of life questionnaire. Persistent dysphagia was defined as a difficulty swallowing score ≥1 (noticeable) on a scale from 0 to 5 at least 1 y postoperatively. Odds ratios of persistent dysphagia among those who underwent antireflux surgery were calculated in a multivariate logistic regression model adjusted for fundoplication type, sex, age, body mass index, and redo operation.
Results: Of the 441 patients who met inclusion criteria, 255 had ≥1 y of follow-up (57.8%). The median duration of follow-up was 3 y. In this cohort, 45.1% of patients underwent Nissen fundoplication and 54.9% underwent partial fundoplication. Persistent postoperative dysphagia was present in 25.9% (n = 66) of patients. On adjusted analysis, there was no statistically significant association between the type of fundoplication (Nissen versus partial) and the likelihood of postoperative dysphagia.
Conclusions: Persistent postoperative dysphagia after antireflux surgery occurred in approximately one-quarter of patients and did not differ by the type of fundoplication. These findings suggest that both Nissen and partial fundoplication are reasonable choices for an antireflux operation for properly selected patients.

A minimally invasive approach is the most common technique for hiatal hernia repair. The robotic platform offers a unique advantage that addresses the limitations of a laparoscopic repair. The steps of a robotic hiatal hernia repair include reduction of hernia contents, dissection of hernia sac, circumferential dissection of esophagus with 2.

Background: Gastric fundoplication with endoscopic technique (GFET) is an innovative approach to managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This minimally invasive procedure utilizes the GEN-2 Apollo endosuture device and Olympus H2T180 gastroscope to perform partial fundoplication by strategically placing Prolene 2-0 sutures at the 11, 7, 5, 1, and 3 o'clock positions around the gastroesophageal junction.
Aim: To evaluate whether GFET enhances the lower esophageal sphincter function by creating comprehensive plication to improve the barrier against reflux.

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.

Objective: Data on graded complications and their frequency after laparoscopic revisional antireflux and hiatal hernia surgery compared with primary surgery are lacking. We describe 30- and 90-day morbidity using the Clavien-Dindo classification.
Methods: A total of 298 patients underwent revision surgery between 2003 and 2020 and were propensity matched to primary surgeries (1:2 ratio) based on age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiology classification, Los Angeles grade esophagitis, presence of Barrett's, and indication for surgery.

Cameron lesions are rare causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). The lesions are linear erosions or ulcers that develop in the sac of a hiatal hernia, which often go unnoticed in the upper gastrointestinal system, and are a prevalent cause of anemia resulting from iron deficiency. Postponed treatment can result in severe consequences such as potentially fatal hemorrhaging.
