Dysphagia
Incidence Before Nissen – 43%
78% improved or resolved with Nissen New onset Dysphagia - 2% (Oelschlager BK, Am J Gastro 2007;102:1)
Causes Technical/anatomic factors Technical/anatomic factors Technical/anatomic factors Esophageal dysmotility

Dysphagia
Avoidance Proper operative technique Control of GERD Proper work-up Pre-operative Counseling
Treatment Supportive 3-4 months Dilation if persists Look hard for anatomic problems If all fails and no anatomic problem, revise to partial
fundoplication
CENTER FOR VIDEOENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Early Post-Operative Dysphagia
UGI or Endoscopy to r/o anatomic problem Patient tolerating liquids and can nourish and
hydrate In first 8-12 weeks – patience
More severe or more than 12 weeks Investigate further Consider dilation

Causes of Dysphagia
Recurrent Hiatal Hernia
Too Tight
Incorrect Orientation
Motility
Normal Post-operative Dysphagia
CENTER FOR VIDEOENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Type IA Hernia
GERD Occasionally Dysphagia
The Gastroesophageal Junction and the Wrap are Above the Diaphragm
CENTER FOR VIDEOENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Recurrent Hiatal Hernia
Acute herniation (first 7-10 days) should be treated with emergent operation
Others present more insidiously and can usually be managed electively
CENTER FOR VIDEOENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Causes of Recurrent Hiatal Hernia
Large Hiatal Hernia
Poor Closure
Short Esophagus
Obesity

Important to diagnose underlying primary disorders pre-op
If primary disorder found post-op treat accordingly

Management of Esophageal Leaks
Recognition Diagnosis Treatment
CENTER FOR VIDEOENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Recognition
Triad of Symptom – though rarely all three present until late
Chest Pain Persistent vomiting Sub-q emphysema
Non-iatrogenic perforations picked up late because diagnosis often not considered early
Three important things to note that drive management Location Underlying cause Time from insult to intervention
CENTER FOR VIDEOENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Diagnosis
CXR Can increase suspicion, but can’t rule in/out
UGI (best test) Diagnosis, severity, location
CT (being used more frequently) If can’t do UGI (Intubated, etc) Direct non-operative management
EGD (rarely) Maybe for management?

Treatment of Post-Surgical Leaks
Small, contained leaks
Antibiotics +/- drain and wait
Leaks occurring and recognized in the first 24 - 48 hours
Consider laparoscopic reoperation, primary closure and buttress
Late occurring

Incidence
18% before surgery 12% after surgery (Oelschlager BK, Am J Gastro 2007;102:1)
19% after (Klaus A, Am J Med 2003;114:6.)
Causes
Underlying gastroparesis
Air swallowing
Vagal nerve injury
Associated IBS (~66%) and overlapping GI diseases
CENTER FOR VIDEOENDOSCOPIC SURGERY
Bloating
Avoidance
Avoid Vagal trauma (Including nerve of Laterjet)
Pre-operative Counseling
Beware of associated IBS
Treatment
Recognition
Supportive
Rarely, if ever, perform surgical gastric emptying
Endoscopic pyloric dilation or Botox
Potentially convert to partial fundoplication
