    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Belsey gastroplasty often fails to control reflux. Adding Nissen fundoplication to the gastroplasty tube significantly improved outcomes, reducing recurrence and reflux symptoms effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Surgical Procedures
    • Esophageal Motility Disorders

    Background:

    • Belsey gastroplasty is a surgical procedure for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
    • Previous studies indicated potential limitations in reflux control with Belsey gastroplasty alone.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of Belsey gastroplasty in controlling reflux.
    • To assess the outcomes of combining Nissen fundoplication with Belsey gastroplasty.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 135 patients underwent Belsey gastroplasty, with 132 available for follow-up.
    • A subgroup of 78 patients received combined Belsey gastroplasty and Nissen fundoplication.
    • Manometric studies were conducted for comparison.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Belsey gastroplasty alone showed a 44.6% incidence of continued reflux despite low anatomical recurrence.
    • The combined Belsey gastroplasty and Nissen fundoplication resulted in only 1 radiological recurrence in 78 patients, with no reported reflux symptoms.
    • Manometric data indicated superior high-pressure zone tone elevation and reduced lower esophageal motor dysfunction with the combined procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Belsey gastroplasty alone is often ineffective for controlling reflux.
    • Combining Nissen fundoplication with Belsey gastroplasty significantly enhances reflux control and improves esophageal function.
