Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Reflux Esophagitis Management

Context:

  • Esophageal reflux significantly impacts patient quality of life.
  • Medical therapy failure necessitates alternative treatment strategies.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nissen fundoplication for esophageal reflux.
  • To determine optimal timing for surgical intervention.

Summary:

  • Nissen fundoplication was performed on 20 patients with esophageal reflux.
  • Indications included medical therapy failure (60%) and reflux complications (40%).
  • No operative mortality occurred; wound infection was the most common complication. Follow-up (1-8 years) showed 85% good results.

Impact:

  • Nissen fundoplication is an effective surgical treatment for refractory esophageal reflux.
  • Early surgical intervention can prevent serious reflux-related complications.
  • This study supports earlier surgical referral for patients unresponsive to medical management.
