Analysis of the efficacy of laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication treatment of hiatal hernia combined with gastroesophageal reflux disease

Abstract

Objective To explore the efficacy of laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication treatment of hiatal hernia combined with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Methods Forty one patients' medical record information of hiatal hernia combined with gastroesophageal reflux disease that underwent laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication were collected in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Hospital from October 2012 to October 2015. Thirty six cases were adopted pure hiatal hernia suture, 2 cases were used biological patch repair, 1 case used Johnson PHY patch repair, 1 case used Bade patch repair, and 1 case used Tyco hiatal hernia dedicated anti-blocking patch repair. These patients were carried out 24 hours esophageal pH monitoring, esophageal manometry, gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire (GERDQ) score and postoperative complications before surgery and 6 months postoperative. The clinical efficacy of laparoscopic Floppy Nissen fundoplication treatment of hiatal hernia combined with gastroesophageal reflux disease was retrospectively analyzed. Results There was no perioperative deaths and serious complications during perioperation. The reflux symptoms were significantly improved postoperative. There was significantly lower in reflux time , the number of reflux (29.83±19.71), acid reflux time percentage , and DeMeester score (7.28±7.38) than the preoperative . GERD Q scale score (7.18±1.33) was significantly lower than preoperative (10.91±2.02) with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). lower esophagealsphincter (LES) pressure was significantly increased than preoperative . Residual pressure was significantly increased than preoperative . Relaxation rate was significantly reduced than preoperative . However, swallowing invalid was increased than preoperative , with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The median follow-up was 10 months, and there was no recurrence during follow-up. Conclusions Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication can effectively inhibit reflux symptoms, and increase LES pressure, which is worthy of promotion. However, there is slightly higher incidence of postoperative dysphagia. Key words: Laparoscopy; Fundoplication; Hernia, hiatal/CO/SU; Gastroesophageal reflux/CO/SU
