Laparoscopic treatment of recurrent gastroesophageal reflux disease and hiatal hernia after two failed fundoplications: a clinical case
Abstract
Aim: identification of the main causes of failures of previous surgical interventions and methods of their prevention during the primary surgical treatment of hernia of the esophageal orifice of the diaphragm.Material and methods. To address the scientific inquiry, an extensive review was conducted across global scientific literature focused on the treatment of primary and recurrent hernias of the esophageal orifice of the diaphragm (GPOD). Additionally, a clinical observation is provided, detailing a surgical intervention performed on a patient who had undergone correction for hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) on two prior occasions.Results. The scientific literature reports limited instances of successfull correction of the recurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and gastroesophageal orifice di- aphragmatic hernias (GPOD) in patients after two fundoplications. The term ‘failed fundo- plication’ is introduced, a concept not yet described in domestic literature. Eliminating the incorrectly formed antireflux mechanism, which leads to a programmed recurrence of GPOD, and implementing technically correct antireflux interventions allow for the achievement of a pronounced clinical effect in patients who have undergone one or more fundoplications, provided there is adequate peristalsis of the esophagus and stomach. In the presented clin- ical case, the surgical procedure is based on the principles of mitigating the consequences of the previous…
