  • Title: [Laparoscopic Collis-Nissen operation for shortened esophagus].
    Author: Kleimann E, Krugel K, Langer S.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 2002 Jul; 127(7):604-7; discussion 608-9. PubMed ID: 12122589.
    Abstract:
    Esophageal shortening as a complication of advanced gastroesophageal reflux disease is seen in 2-4 % of patients with GERD. The Collis gastroplasty with Nissen fundoplication creates an intraabdominal neoesophagus with a fundic wrap and is an effective procedure in the difficult intraoperative situation of esophageal shortening. After own experience with the open Collis gastroplasty and after reports on successful laparoscopic Collis-Nissen operation we performed 2 laparoscopic Collis-Nissen operations. The technique we used is a new modification of the laparoscopic technique described by Johnson and Hunter in 1998. The postoperative course was uncomplicated in both patients. The follow up included endoscopy and barium meal. The patients showed relief from reflux symptoms except a mild dysphagia. There was no persisting esophagitis. The laparoscopic Collis-Nissen gastroplasty is an effective minimal-invasive procedure in patients with shortened esophagus diagnosed intraoperatively.
