Abstract
Abstract The video demonstrates laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery with the RefluxStop procedure, first introduced in 2016 and now offered in multiple centers across Europe. As this tertiary level hospital was among the first to offer this treatment to patients in clinical practice, this video provides unique insight to the lessons learned from the early experience of this surgery, with regard to optimizing effectiveness and safety. In light of the promising clinical outcomes that are emerging as follow-up data become available, the number of surgeons performing this this technique is likely to continue to increase. The RefluxStop procedure addresses all 3 components of the anti-reflux barrier as follows: 1) laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair, 2) high mediastinal dissection to achieve 4-6 cm intraabdominal length of esophagus, allowing the LES to be brought into an optimal intraabdominal position, and 3) recreation of the flap valve at the angle of His though creation of a 90-degree esophago-gastric plication. The 22mm round silicone RefluxStop device is then positioned high-up and close to the esophagus in a fundic pocket, to maintain the correct position of the repair. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hlXXRUUMkDPmheW_mgPM_g1wWCu2R_Y3/view
