Rapid stomach emptying (dumping-like syndrome) is a rare complication after Nissen fundoplication surgery. Dietary changes and medication effectively managed symptoms in two patients, offering a new treatment approach.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Digestive System Motility Disorders

Background:

  • Nissen fundoplication is a surgical procedure to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease.
  • Delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis) is a known complication post-Nissen fundoplication.
  • Rapid gastric emptying, or dumping syndrome, is an uncommon but challenging complication after this surgery.

Observation:

  • This report details two patients experiencing dumping-like syndrome following Nissen fundoplication.
  • Patients presented with symptoms indicative of rapid gastric emptying post-surgery.
  • The condition proved difficult to manage with conventional approaches.

Findings:

  • Both patients demonstrated significant symptom improvement.

  • Treatment involved a combination of tailored dietary management and medical therapy.
  • This approach offers a potential solution for managing this rare complication.

    • Implications:

    • Dietary modification and medical treatment can effectively manage dumping-like syndrome post-fundoplication.
    • This case series suggests a viable, less invasive treatment strategy.
    • Further research may validate these findings for broader clinical application in surgical gastroenterology.
