    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Surgical repair for reflux-induced esophageal strictures requires careful patient selection. Procedures like Collis gastroplasty and Thal fundic patch offer options, but complex cases may need resection and intestinal interposition.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Digestive System Surgery

    Background:

    • Reflux-induced esophageal strictures often require surgical intervention beyond simple dilation.
    • Antireflux repairs are the primary treatment, but more complex cases necessitate advanced surgical techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and compare surgical options for managing esophageal strictures caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
    • To highlight patient selection criteria for different surgical approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of standard antireflux repairs.
    • Evaluation of Collis gastroplasty combined with antireflux repair.
    • Assessment of the Thal fundic patch operation with skin graft and fundoplication.
    • Consideration of intestinal interposition for refractory cases.

    Main Results:

    • Standard antireflux repairs are first-line treatments.
    • Collis gastroplasty is effective for severe damage but has contraindications.
    • Thal fundic patch with full fundoplication shows promising initial results.
    • Resection and intestinal interposition is the preferred method for the most challenging strictures.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical management of esophageal strictures requires tailored approaches based on stricture severity and patient history.
    • Careful patient selection is crucial for optimizing outcomes with procedures like Collis gastroplasty and Thal fundic patch.
    • Further follow-up is needed for emerging techniques, while resection remains the gold standard for complex cases.
