Case analysis explores postoperative complications and reoperation rates in GERD patients undergoing conversion to Refluxstop.
Introduction: Antireflux surgery (ARS) can result in postoperative complications such as recurrent reflux, dysphagia, explantation or migration/erosion of surgical devices, and reherniation, which may necessitate redo surgery. Current ARS approaches have conceivably high reoperation rates, with repeat surgeries typically showing less favorable outcomes than primary procedures. Physiological and technical considerations of ARS may restrict future treatment options when failure occurs.
