Does the presence of an esophageal motor disorder influence the response to anti-reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) for refractory GERD?
CONCLUSION: The presence of esophageal motor disorders does not seem to impact ARMS response, suggesting the technique's consideration in this population. Larger studies are essential for confirming these results and exploring treatment response and post-operative predictors.PMID:38497142 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2331554 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

Laryngeal Structural Dysphagia in Children
The upper aerodigestive system is closely intertwined from an embryologic and functional perspective. Laryngotracheal anatomic abnormalities, such as laryngomalacia, stenosis, vocal cord paralysis, and laryngeal clefts, affect not only the respiratory function but also the swallow function. Laryngotracheal pathology can interfere with the suck –swallow–breathe mechanism in infants. It can also exacerbate gastroesophageal reflux. Chronic aspiration secondary to laryngotracheal anomalies can result in respiratory and pulmonary complications. Surgical treatment of laryngotracheal anomalies can also cause transient or long...

Laparoscopic Treatment of Sliding Hiatal Hernia
Hiatal hernias result from a widening of the esophageal hiatus that leads to the displacement of the lower esophageal sphincter and stomach into the thoracic cavity. Clinical signs of regurgitation, gastroesophageal reflux, and esophagitis are managed medically, but surgery is considered in those that fail to respond to medical management. Surgical treatment of hiatal hernia can be performed laparoscopically. Treatment involves plication of the esophageal hiatus, as well as a pexy of the esophagus to the diaphragm and a left sided gastropexy. Outcomes with laparoscopic treatment are comparable to those performed via laparo...

Anti-reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) for refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease
AbstractGastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common diseases seen by gastroenterologists worldwide. A significant proportion of patients have a suboptimal response to acid inhibitors, especially proton pump inhibitors and potassium-competitive acid blockers. Due to concerns regarding the safety of long-term medication, many patients are unwilling to take lifelong medication. Endoscopic antireflux management offers a minimally invasive option for GERD patients. In recent decades, there have been several endoscopic antireflux therapies, including radiofrequency therapy, transoral fundoplication, and muco...

Effect of anti-reflux suture on gastroesophageal reflux symptoms after one anastomosis gastric bypass: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionGERD symptoms and de novo GERD after OAGB seems to be under-reported after OAGB. This study suggests that applying an anti-reflux suture can decrease de novo GERD symptoms.Graphical abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Laparoscopic total (Nissen) versus posterior (Toupet) fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease: a propensity score-matched comparison of the perioperative and 1-year follow-up outcome
ConclusionThe findings presented here did not show any significant difference up to 1 year after Nissen or Toupet fundoplication. This is in concordance with the findings of the meta-analyses. However, the perioperative and 1-year follow-up outcomes demonstrate that both operation techniques should be carried out by experienced surgeons. (Source: Hernia)

Efficacy and safety of fundoplication in treating gastroesophageal reflux related chronic cough: A meta-analysis
Asian J Surg. 2024 Mar 15:S1015-9584(24)00435-4. doi: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2024.03.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGastroesophageal reflux related chronic cough (GERC), is a common type of chronic cough. Drug treatment is the first choice. But some patients are tired of taking medicine everyday and some patients can not benefit from drugs. For these patients, fundoplication may be the most effective method. However, the importance of fundoplication in treating GERC is undervalued, and there is very few meta-analysis looking into the effect and safety of fundoplication in treating GERC. To solve this question, we performed t...

Massive thymoma mimicking a pleural mass
A 37-year-old man presented with months of weight loss, dysphagia and fatigue. He was an infrequent smoker, had no medical history and did not take regular medications. Endoscopy revealed gastro-oesophageal reflux only. Two months later, he presented with persistent cough and chest-X-ray (figure 1) revealed a large right-sided opacity. Subsequent CT scan (figure 1) revealed a 165x122x128 mm mass in the right hemithorax, appearing to arise from the pleura, with compressive atelectasis of the lung. The diaphragm was intact, but the mass compressed the right atrium and superior vena cava (SVC). He subsequently developed chest...
