Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Symptomatic esophagitis, hiatal hernias, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) significantly impact patient quality of life.
  • Traditional open surgical management for these conditions can involve substantial patient recovery times.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for managing GERD associated with hiatal hernias.
  • To assess postoperative outcomes, including symptom control and complication rates, using objective diagnostic measures.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of twelve patients with symptomatic GERD and hiatal hernias underwent surgical intervention.
  • The primary surgical technique was Nissen fundoplication, performed laparoscopically in nine patients.

  • Postoperative assessment included fiberoptic endoscopy, esophageal manometry, and barium contrast studies.

    • Main Results:

    • Excellent postoperative results were achieved, with complete symptom control in multiple patients.
    • A 0% mortality rate was observed.
    • One patient experienced a major complication (pneumonia); six patients were asymptomatic at one-month follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is a feasible and effective treatment for gastroesophageal reflux associated with hiatal hernias.
    • The procedure offers significant benefits comparable to open surgery with a favorable safety profile.
    • Minimally invasive surgical approaches enhance patient recovery and outcomes for GERD management.
