Toupet fundoplication (TF) has been shown to have fewer adverse effects compared to Nissen fundoplication (NF), however, it is unknown whether the advantages of TF persist when comparing outcomes by the distensibility of post-fundoplication lower esophageal sphincter (LES)…

INTRODUCTION: Nissen fundoplication provides durable symptomatic control over time in patients with GERD. Studies have also demonstrated a high rate of distal esophageal acid exposure normalization up to 1-year after surgery…

INTRODUCTION: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a key risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) among other factors, such as Barrett’s esophagus (BE), advanced age, male sex, Caucasian race, and tobacco use…

INTRODUCTION: Symptom association probability (SAP) is an index that determines if there is a statistical association between symptoms and reflux episodes on pH-monitoring or multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring (MII-pH)…

INTRODUCTION: Pyloroplasty is an effective surgery for gastroparesis. However, some patients fail to improve after pyloric drainage and may require subsequent gastric electric stimulation. There is a paucity of data on the efficacy of gastric stimulator as an adjunct to failed pyloroplasty…

INTRODUCTION: Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) has ramifications for esophageal body function…

INTRODUCTION: Barrett’s esophagus (BE) guidelines recommend surveillance biopsies at up to 5-year intervals for non-dysplastic BE (NDBE)…
