Nearest and long-term results of 114 antireflux operations performed on 78 children were studied. Choice of the method of operative intervention, degree of ureterectasia on excretory urograms and functional state of the urinary bladder were shown to have an influence on results of antireflux operations. Best results were obtained following operations after Politano--Leadbetter and Kohen. Unsatisfactory results were mainly observed in III-IV degree ureterectasia and continuing dysfunction of the urinary bladder. Their amount was found to increase with longer terms of observations.

Background And Aim: Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is the gold standard of antireflux surgery. Up to 30% of patients experience symptoms after surgery, with insufficient information available. The main objective is to evaluate epidemiological, clinical, and functional factors associated with symptoms after LNP.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a potentially refluxogenic operation while Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB) is regarded as an anti-reflux procedure. The aim of this study is to compare long-term incidence of Barrett's Oesophagus (BO) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) following LSG and LRYGB.

Methods: Participants of a double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing banded LRYGB and LSG for remission of type 2 diabetes were contacted to take part.

New procedures like the robotic approach require proficiency to ensure patient safety and satisfactory functional results. Hiatal hernia surgery serves as a suitable training procedure for upper gastrointestinal tract surgeons transitioning to the robotic approach. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of implementing the robotic approach in hiatal hernia surgery at a tertiary hospital and to assess the associated learning curve.

Background: The selection of an appropriate gastrointestinal (GI) reconstruction procedure after proximal gastrectomy (PG) has long been a challenge. Surgeons have had a long history of exploring anti-reflux gastroesophageal anastomosis. The aim of this article is to systematically summarize the anti-reflux principles of GI reconstructive procedures through a review of the previous literature and to provide a theoretical basis for clinicians to select or innovate procedures.
