ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Numerous studies comment on quality of life outcomes comparing complete and partial fundoplication with or without a bougie. Society guidelines are moving toward recommending partial fundoplication over complete fundoplication due to improved side effect profile with similar outcomes. Retrospective studies and randomized trials have elucidated that use of a bougie during Nissen fundoplication does impact long-term dysphagia. To date there are no retrospective or prospective data that guide practice for partial fundoplications.OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this project is to investigate the clinical implications of using a bougie for Toupet fundoplication with regard to short-term and long-term dysphagia and need for further therapeutic interventions.METHODS:
A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained gastroesophageal database was performed. Demographic, pre-operative quality of life outcomes data, perioperative, and post-operative quality of life outcomes data of 373 patients from 2011 to 2022 undergoing Toupet fundoplication without bougie or with a traditional Savary 56Fr or 58Fr bougie were reviewed. The two groups were compared using student's t-test to identify statically significant differences between the groups.RESULTS:
Between 2011 and 2022, 373 patients underwent Toupet fundoplication (276 with traditional bougie, 97 without). Median follow-up in the bougie group was 19 months, versus 9 months in the non bougie group. There was no difference between early (3 weeks) and late dysphagia scores (6 months). In the bougie group there were two mucosal perforations due to the bougie. There were no statistically significant differences in GERD-HRQL, gas bloat, and dysphagia scores between groups at one year.CONCLUSION:
There is no difference observed in early or late dysphagia scores, GERD-HRQL, gas bloat or need for dilation in patients undergoing Toupet fundoplication with or without a traditional bougie. It is reasonable to discontinue the use of a traditional bougie during Toupet fundoplication, especially due to risk of esophageal perforation.Palabras clave
