Background: A subset of patients with anti-reflux surgery require re-operative intervention. Re-operative intervention is associated with higher intra-operative complications when compared to primary fundoplication. Some patients may have recurrent failure and may require re-intervention which may have an even higher risk of complications. The aim of this study was to compare the patterns of intraoperative complications in patients who underwent first redo-anti-reflux surgery (Group A) with thos

Background
Since 2009 we had performed Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in 200 cases. We recognize this procedure for patients to prefer to. So in a few cases we tried to perform Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy for early gastric cancers with the procedures of Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery. But these procedures have several problems for example difficult handling without keeping of triangular formation and high cost. We should consider to design the well-balanced methods betwe
Background: The goal in antireflux surgery is to re-establish a competent barrier to prevent excessive reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. We sought to characterize the changes in esophagogastric junction distensibility that occurs in patients during the various stages of antireflux surgery.
Methods and Procedures: This is a retrospective review of prospectively maintained data. All patients underwent laparoscopic fundoplication at the Medical College of Wisconsin between September 2
Introduction
Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LM) has been shown in previous meta-analyses and case series from high-volume centers to have fewer complications, decreased length of stay, and better patient satisfaction when compared with open Heller myotomy (OM) for the treatment of achalasia. Overall utilization of laparoscopy, mortality, and morbidity rates from the ACS-NSQIP dataset have not been reported for the treatment of achalasia.
Methods
A retrospective review of the ACS-NSQIP database
