Shedding some light on the use of mesh in gastroesophageal junction surgery

چکیده
Background Postoperative complications such as failure or disruption of the crura repair and intrathoracic migration of the wrap are the most common anatomic reasons for the failure of Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication. The authors hypothesized that ultrastructural illness may be implicated in this recurrence. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of changes at esophageal hiatal area in patients with and without HH and to shed some light on the use of mesh in this surgery.

متن کاملAngiography in the diagnosis and therapy of bleeding from gastroesophageal varices.
Angiography, with its various techniques of catheterization and visualization of visceral vessels, is assuming an increasingly important role in both the diagnosis and treatment of bleeding from gastroesophageal varices. In the acute stage of bleeding, emergency arteriography has helped visualize gastroesophageal varices and, occasionally, the actual bleeding as an extravasation of contrast med...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Gastric Wedge Resection and Prophylactic Antireflux Surgery for a Submucosal Tumor of Gastroesophageal Junction
A laparoscopic wedge resection for a submucosal tumor, which is close to the gastroesophageal junction, is technically challenging. This can be a dilemma to both patients and surgeons when the tumor margin involves the gastroesophageal junction because a wedge resection in this situation might result in a deformity of the gastroesophageal junction or an injury to the lower esophageal sphincter,...
