Preexisting dysphagia, not the type of vagotomy or fundoplication, is linked to long-term swallowing difficulties after laparoscopic surgery for peptic ulcers. Patients with prior dysphagia are more likely to experience persistent issues post-operation.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Patient Outcomes

Background:

  • Laparoscopic vagotomy offers a less invasive approach for peptic ulcer disease.
  • Post-surgical dysphagia remains a significant challenge following laparoscopic vagotomy procedures.
  • Identifying etiological factors for long-term dysphagia is crucial for improving patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the causes of persistent, long-term dysphagia after laparoscopic vagotomy.
  • To determine the correlation between surgical techniques and the severity of postvagotomy dysphagia.
  • To assess the influence of preoperative symptoms on long-term postoperative swallowing function.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 13 patients (11 male, 2 female; mean age 48.5) who underwent laparoscopic vagotomy.

  • Patient diagnoses included refractory duodenal ulcer, gastric hypersecretion, gastric outlet obstruction, cholelithiasis, and GERD.
  • Surgical procedures involved laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy or truncal vagotomy with gastrojejunostomy/pyloroplasty, with or without Nissen fundoplication.

    • Main Results:

    • Long-term follow-up (median 47 months) revealed dysphagia in 5 patients (2 severe, 1 moderate, 2 mild).
    • Neither vagotomy type nor concurrent fundoplication correlated with dysphagia severity.
    • Postoperative dysphagia severity strongly correlated with preoperative dysphagia severity (r=0.752, p=0.003), but not heartburn or regurgitation.

    Conclusions:

    • Preexisting dysphagia is a primary factor in persistent post-laparoscopic vagotomy dysphagia.
    • Patients with preoperative dysphagia, often linked to GERD and esophageal lesions, are at higher risk.
    • Recommendations include careful construction of a loose fundoplication in dysphagic patients to mitigate risks.
