Abstract
To evaluate outcomes of surgical remediation for symptomatic or anatomic failure after a transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF). This retrospective study was performed on 11 patients who underwent a remedial operation following TIF failure between June 2011 and September 2016 at the Mayo Clinic in Florida for persistent foregut symptoms. Upper gastrointestinal workup characterized 1 patient as having normal post-TIF anatomy and 10 as having anatomic failure. Ambulatory pH testing was performed in 7 patients and was abnormal in all. All patients underwent a laparoscopic takedown of the prior endoscopic fundoplication and removal of all accessible polypropylene T-fasteners. All patients had esophageal salvage and have not required a reoperation. Anatomical findings included hiatal hernia (7), esophageal diverticulum (2), hiatal mesh erosion of esophagus (1), long-segment esophageal stricture (1), and normal anatomy (1). Remedial operations included laparoscopic explant of fasteners in all patients with conversion to fundoplication (7), resection/imbrication of esophageal diverticulum (2), Heller myotomy (1), and mesh explant and complex esophageal repair (1). Mean operative time was 177 minutes and median length of stay 3 da...Continue Reading
