Laparoscopic fundoplication and gastrostomy
Abstract
Fundoplication and gastrostomy are among the more common operative procedures performed in infants and children. This article reviews the techniques, results, and complications of the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux in 389 consecutive pediatric patients over the last 5 years. Chronic unremitting vomiting, failure to thrive, and an array of pulmonary symptoms were the leading indications for fundoplication in these children. Children who eat by mouth were primarily treated by a Toupet fundoplication, whereas gastrostomy-fed children generally received a Nissen fundoplication. The time to perform fundoplication and gastrostomy in our patients averaged about 3 hours for the first 10 patients but required a little over 1 hour for the last 50 patients. Most patients were discharged by the second or third postoperative day. Recurrent symptoms have developed in about 5% of our patients. Five of the 201 children who received a Toupet fundoplication (partial wrap) have been converted to a complete wrap fundoplication. Two of the patients having a Nissen fundoplication have required reoperation for their symptoms. The primary complications were seven cases of transient dysphagia, one case of esophageal perforation, and one case of gastric perforation. Laparoscopic fundoplication seems to achieve results equivalent to open fundoplication and is associated with considerably less postoperative pain and morbidity as well as a more rapid recovery.
