USING IMPEDANCE PLANIMETRY (ENDOFLIP®) IN THE OPERATING ROOM TO ASSESS THE GASTROESOPHAGEAL JUNCTION AND PREDICT PATIENT OUTCOMES FOLLOWING FUNDOPLICATION
Bailey Su, MD, Stephanie Novak, MS, Zachary Callahan, MD, Kristine Kuchta, MS, Joann Carbray, BS, Michael Ujiki, MD. NorthShore University Health SystemIntroduction: Our purpose is to evaluate the utility of using a functional luminal imaging probe (EndoFLIP®) intra-operatively to assess adequacy of hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication. Additionally, we hypothesize that these measurements correlate with… Continue Reading

Is that ‘Floppy’ Fundoplication Tight Enough?
Brexton Turner, BS, Melissa Helm, MS, Emily Hetzel, BS, Max Schumm, MD, Jon Gould, MD. Medical College of WisconsinBackground: Laparoscopic fundoplication is the treatment of choice for medically refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Surgeons seek to create a competent valve at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) but are careful to construct a ‘floppy’ fundoplication that is not… Continue Reading

IMPACT OF FUNCTIONAL ESOPHAGOGASTRIC OUTFLOW OBSTRUCTION ON OUTCOMES OF LAPAROSCOPIC NISSEN FUNDOPLICATION FOR GERD
Noah J Switzer, Anahita D Jalilvand, Monet Mcnally, Alexandra Power, Patricia Belle, Kyle Perry. The Ohio State UniversityINTRODUCTION: We hypothesized that GERD patients with manometric findings of EJOO on preoperative manometry do not have increased rates of postoperative dysphagia compared to those with normal or hypotensive LES pressures. With the advent of high-resolution manometry, esophageal… Continue Reading

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GASTROESOPHAGEAL JUNCTION INTEGRITY AND SYMPTOMATIC FUNDOPLICATION OUTCOMES
Brexton Turner, BS, Melissa Helm, Emily Hetzel, Max Schumm, Jon Gould. Medical College of WisconsinBackground: Satisfaction rates following laparoscopic fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) may vary based on the integrity of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) at the time of surgery. We hypothesized that patients with a competent GEJ do not fare as well following fundoplication… Continue Reading
