Effects of Anterior Fundoplication on Postoperative Dysphagia and Reflux After Laparoscopic Esophagocardiomyotomy for Pediatric Achalasia
Conclusion: In this largest observation of pediatric achalasia patients, A-fundo appeared clinically insignificant when determining contributors to control GER or exacerbate postoperative dysphagia. A-fundo should not be routinely adopted in children having L-ECM for achalasia without further multicenter analysis but appears beneficial in cases having inadvertent mucosal violation.PMID:38597929 | DOI:10.1089/lap.2023.0415 (Source: Adv Data)

Use of flexible transnasal esophagogastroscopy in patients with unclear globus sensation
CONCLUSION: TNE is a quick and safe examination method for diagnosing patients with an unclear globus sensation. Detection of a hiatal hernia can be seen as an indication of reflux disease. Lack of evidence of a hernia does not rule out reflux. Thus, TNE is a useful addition to pH monitoring in patients with globus sensation, because reflux-related changes in the mucosa can be recognized early and adequately treated.PMID:38592479 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01462-7 (Source: HNO)

Revisional one-anastomosis gastric bypass for failed laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
In conclusion, the main indications for revision after LSG are weight regain, insufficient weight loss, and intractable GERD. Revision al OAGB emerges as a viable surgical alternative for unsuccessful LSG, presenting notable weight loss outcomes; however, it may be linked to an increased incidence of complications.Graphical abstract (Source: Updates in Surgery)

Gastrointestinal radionuclide imaging in pediatric age group
Q J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2024 Mar;68(1):23-31. doi: 10.23736/S1824-4785.24.03548-9.ABSTRACTPediatric gastrointestinal imaging plays a crucial role in evaluating and managing digestive system disorders in children. This comprehensive review dives into the nuances of pediatric gastrointestinal imaging techniques, focusing on three specific modalities: gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES), intestinal transit scintigraphy (ITS), and gastrointestinal bleeding scintigraphy. GES involves real-time monitoring of stomach emptying using radiotracers and gamma camera technology. While challenges exist in standardizing protocols due t...
