Summary: This study reviewed the outcomes of laparoscopic fundoplication at a single institution up to 10 years after surgery. The results showed that patients experienced improvement in symptoms and minimal postoperative side effects, with long-term effects persisting up to 10 years.

Summary: This study compares the Floppy-Nissen (FN) and Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication (NRF) procedures and finds no significant difference in symptoms and satisfaction levels between the two, except for the duration of surgery.

Summary: The study followed up on Korean patients with GERD who underwent anti-reflux surgery for up to 1 year, finding that over 90% of patients had good symptom resolution at one year post-operation. The proportion of patients with hiatal hernia and comorbidities increased in the later period (2015-2018), with a significant decrease in operation time. Symptom control and complication rate remained comparable between the early and late periods.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared endoscopic plication and laparoscopic fundoplication for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The results showed that laparoscopic fundoplication was more likely to achieve PPI cessation compared to endoscopic plication, with similar post-procedural risk.

Summary: Esophageal dysmotility is a common finding in patients being evaluated for antireflux surgery. This study evaluated outcomes of patients with esophageal dysmotility after fundoplication. The results showed that patients with esophageal dysmotility had similar outcomes compared to those with normal motility after fundoplication, suggesting the tailored approach favoring partial fundoplication for patients with dysmotility as part of an appropriate treatment algorithm.

Summary: Laparoscopic fundoplication is the standard treatment for medically refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease. While both primary and reoperative fundoplication patients experience improvement in GERD-related symptoms, the degree of improvement is greater in primary patients. Perioperative morbidity rates following reoperative and primary procedures can be similar when performed by an experienced surgeon.

Summary: This study assessed the long-term outcomes of robotic-assisted (RALF) and conventional laparoscopic fundoplication (CLF) in treating patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The results showed no significant differences between RALF and CLF in terms of symptoms, quality of life, and treatment failure after 12 years.

Summary: The long-term findings of this randomized clinical trial indicate that both posterior partial fundoplication (PF) and total fundoplication (TF) are equally effective for controlling GERD and improving quality of life in the long term.

Summary: Abnormal DeMeester score on pH monitoring is a well-established predictor of favorable outcome after antireflux surgery. Symptom association probability (SAP) is often used as an adjunct to DeMeester score during preoperative assessment. However, the utility of SAP in predicting outcomes after fundoplication is limited.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis shows that the current evidence for Sleeve-F is limited, with high postoperative gastric perforation and overall complication rates. Short-term weight loss and GERD resolution appear promising, but further studies are needed to explore long-term effects.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of AS-DD procedure on LSBE and ELSBE using subjective and objective measurements. The results showed that AS-DD surgery can permanently eliminate pathological reflux to the esophagus and reduce the progression to HGD/EAC compared to medical treatment.

Summary: This study reviewed data from patients who underwent GERD LNF surgery in the department from 2014 to 2018, finding a high satisfaction rate postoperatively with a mean follow-up time of approximately 50 months. The proportion of patients recommending the surgery was 78.4%.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical efficacy of antireflux mucosectomy (ARMS) on laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD). The results showed that ARMS was effective for LPRD, and the gastroesophageal flap valve (GEFV) grade could predict the prognosis of surgery. ARMS was effective in GEFV grade I to III patients, but the effect was uncertain and even aggravated in GEFV grade IV patients.

Summary: Postoperative dumping syndrome is a common complication after Roux-en-y gastric bypass for morbid obesity, typically managed with dietary or pharmacologic measures. In cases where conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered. The use of a modified Nissen fundoplication for late dumping syndrome after RYGB shows promise as a surgical alternative.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical effect of laparoscopic fundoplication on extraesophageal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The results showed that both total and partial laparoscopic fundoplication have similar effects on improving extraesophageal symptoms of GERD, as well as similar quality of life.
