RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The role of routine preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in bariatric surgery candidates is controversial. This study compares preoperative EGD outcomes with patient-reported gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms to determine if a case-based EGD is appropriate. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted from April 2022 through September 2023 in Mashhad, Iran. All patients underwent EGD. To assess GERD symptoms, we used the GERD-Health Related Quality of Life questionnaire. Patients were categorized into two groups: the asymptomatic group (GERD-HRQL = 0) and the symptomatic group (GERD-HRQL > 0). RESULTS: A total of 165 patients were included, out of which 133 (80.6%) were in the symptomatic group and 32 (19.4%) were in the asymptomatic group. Esophagitis was present in 41 (24.8%) patients. There was no significant difference in the frequency of esophagitis (18.8% vs. 26.3%, p-value = 0.37), hiatal hernia (18.8% vs. 18.8%, p-value = 1.00), gastritis (56.3% vs. 63.9%, p-value = 0.42), and H. pylori infection (9.4% vs. 12.0%, p-value = 1.00) between the asymptomatic and symptomatic groups, respectively. None of the demographic factors or comorbidities of asymptomatic patients were associated with esophagitis, except for hiatal hernia (OR = 7.67, 95% CI 3.01-19.53, p-value < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the GERD-HRQL total scores, as well as the heartburn and regurgitation subscales, were poor predictors of esophagitis (AUC 0.57, 0.51, and 0.56, respectively). CONCLUSION: EGD findings were not associated with GERD symptoms in candidates for bariatric surgery.

PURPOSE: To explore the feasibility of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in patients with achalasia and hiatal hernia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of 2136 patients with achalasia between January 2016 and December 2022. Patients with achalasia and hiatal hernia were assigned into study group, and matched patients with achalasia but no hiatal hernia were assigned into control group. The preoperative baseline information, procedure-related adverse events (AEs) and follow-up data were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Hiatal hernia was identified in 56/1564 (3.6%) patients with achalasia. All of these patients underwent POEM with success. The preoperative baseline characteristics were similar between the study and control group. The study group presented with a similar rate of mucosal injury (12.5% vs 16.1, P = 0.589), pneumothorax (3.6% vs 1.8%, P = 1.000), pleural effusion (8.9% vs 12.5%, P = 0.541) and major AEs (1.8% vs 1.8%, P = 1.000) compared with the control group. As for the follow-up data, no significant differences were observed in clinical success (96.4% vs 92.9%, P = 0.679; 93.6% vs 94.0%, P = 1.000; 86.5% vs 91.4%, P = 0.711) clinical reflux (25.0% vs 19.6%, P = 0.496; 31.9% vs 26.0%, P = 0.521; 35.1% vs 31.4%, P = 0.739) and proton pump inhibitor usage (17.9% vs 16.1%, P = 0.801; 29.8% vs 24.0%, P = 0.520; 32.4% vs 25.7%, P = 0.531) between the study group and control group at 1-year, 2-year and 3-year follow-ups. CONCLUSIONS: POEM is a safe and effective treatment for achalasia combined with hiatal hernia.

PURPOSE: Paraoesophageal hernias (PEH) are associated with a high complication rate and often occur in elderly and fragile patients. Surgical gastropexy without fundoplication is an accepted alternative procedure; however, outcomes and functional results are rarely described. Our study aims to evaluate short-term outcomes and the long-term quality of life after gastropexy as treatment for PEH. METHODS: Single center cohort analysis of all consecutive patients who underwent gastropexy for PEH without fundoplication. Postoperative outcomes and functional results were retrospectively collected. Reflux symptoms developed postoperatively were reported using the validated quality of life questionnaire: GERD-Health Related Quality of Life Qestionnaire (GERD-HRQL). RESULTS: Thirty patients (median age: 72 years (65-80)) were included, 40% classified as ASA III. Main PEH symptoms were reflux (63%), abdominal/thoracic pain (47%), pyrosis (33%), anorexia (30%), and food blockage (26%). Twenty-six laparoscopies were performed (86%). Major complications (III-IVb) occurred in 9 patients (30%). Seven patients (23%) had PEH recurrence, all re-operated, performing a new gastropexy. Median follow-up was 38 (17-50) months. Twenty-two patients (75%) reported symptoms resolution with median GERD-HRQL scale of 4 (1-6). 72% (n = 21) reported operation satisfaction. GERD-HRQL was comparable between patients who were re-operated for recurrence and others: 5 (2-19) versus 3 (0-6), p = 0.100. CONCLUSION: Gastropexy without fundoplication was performed by laparoscopy in most cases with acceptable complications rates. Two-thirds of patients reported symptoms resolution, and long-term quality-of-live associated to reflux symptoms is good. Although the rate of PEH recurrence requiring a new re-intervention remained increased (23%), it does not seem to affect long-term functional results.

Hiatal hernias continue to be fairly common in clinical practice. However, the variety of different symptoms presented by patients may hinder establishing the ultimate diagnosis. Nevertheless, currently, the diagnosis of hiatal hernia can be easily established, based on barium swallow radiography. We would like to present a clinical case report of a patient with complex medical history, including von Willebrand disease, degenerative spinal disease, and chronic sinusitis, who was finally diagnosed with hiatal hernia and treated with a standard laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. Our case focuses on the significance of comorbidities on patients' symptoms, which sometimes may mislead the therapeutic process.

Paraesophageal hernias are classified according to the altered anatomic relationships between the gastroesophageal junction or stomach and the diaphragmatic hiatus. Herniation of these structures into the mediastinum may produce common complaints such as reflux, chest pain, and dysphagia. The elective repair of these hernias is well tolerated and significantly improves quality of life among patients with symptomatic disease. The hallmarks of a quality repair include the circumferential mobilization of the esophagus to generate 3 cm of tension-free intra-abdominal length and the performance of a fundoplication.

Introduction: Hiatal hernia (HH) is a common disorder of the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract that general surgeons encounter. Giant paraesophageal is a subtype of HH in which more than 30% of the stomach is located in the chest. It can cause symptoms such as dysphagia, UGI bleeding, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and vomiting. As the life expectancy of the general population increases, the incidence of giant HH increases and can cause morbidity, including recurrent admissions and prolonged length of hospitalization. In this article, we describe a cohort of nonagenarian patients with HH who were admitted to our institution and were treated either surgically or medically. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our prospectively maintained database of all nonagenarians who were admitted to our center between 2018 and 2022 with the diagnosis of HH. We compared the demographic data, clinical data, and outcomes between patients undergoing operative and nonoperative management. Results: Twenty patients of age over 90 years were hospitalized with HH-related symptoms. Six underwent surgery, whereas 14 received medical management. Surgical patients had fewer overall hospitalization days, shorter length of stay, and less blood product requirements. Notably two cases of in-hospital mortality occurred in the nonoperative group, whereas none occurred in the operative group. All surgical procedures were performed laparoscopically, with two minor perioperative complications. Conclusion: In selected nonagenarian patients, laparoscopic HH repair is safe and should be considered favorably. It can reduce hospitalization time and can mitigate morbidity.

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of Barrett's esophagus (BE) in France is unknown. However, the management of dysplastic BE in expert centers is recommended and reduces the risk of developing invasive adenocarcinoma. Our aim was to determine the burden of BE patients in the Paris Region. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study using the data from electronic medical records from the data warehouse of the 39 Greater Paris public hospitals (Entrepôt de données de santé de l' Assistance Publique- Hôpitaux de Paris) for the year 2018, and used natural language processing to search for occurrences of Barrett's esophagus in endoscopy and pathology reports. RESULTS: we observed a 2.2 % prevalence of Barrett's esophagus. Patients with Barrett's esophagus were older, more frequently males, with a hiatal hernia, proton pump inhibitor users, and less frequently infected by H. Pylori. Gastro-esophageal reflux symptoms were not more frequently encountered in Barrett's patients. Eleven percent of patients with Barrett's esophagus had dysplasia or adenocarcinoma. DISCUSSION: Over 200 000 patients with Barrett's esophagus are expected in the Paris Region, of which 11 % harbor dysplasia or adenocarcinoma. This data should be taken into account to tailor healthcare offer in France.

BACKGROUND: After laparoscopic fundoplication, 10-20% of patients experience symptom recurrence-often due to resurgence of the hiatal hernia. The standard surgical treatment for such cases remains laparoscopic revision fundoplication. However, there is little data on the time frame and anatomic patterns of failed fundoplications. Additionally, few large studies exist on the long-term efficacy and safety of laparoscopic revision fundoplication. METHODS: In a single-center, retrospective analysis of 194 consecutive revision fundoplications for recurrent reflux disease due to hiatal hernia, we collected data on time to failure and patterns of failure of the primary operation, as well as on the efficacy and safety of the revision. RESULTS: The median time to failure of the primary fundoplication was 3 years. Most hiatal defects were smaller than 5 cm and located anteriorly or concentric around the esophagus. Laparoscopic redo fundoplication was technically successful in all cases. The short-term complication rate was 9%, mainly dysphagia requiring endoscopic intervention. At a mean follow-up of 4.7 years, 77% of patients were symptom-free, 14% required daily PPI, and 9% underwent secondary revision. Cumulative failure rates were 9%, 23%, and 31% at 1, 5, and 10 years. CONCLUSION: The majority of failed fundoplications occur within 3 years of primary surgery, with most patients exhibiting anterior or concentric defects. For these patients, laparoscopic revision fundoplication is a safe procedure with a low rate of short-term complications and satisfactory long-term results.

BACKGROUND: Antireflux surgery (ARS) and hiatal hernia repair (HHR) are common surgical procedures with modest morbidity. Increasing age is a risk factor for complications; however, details regarding acute morbidity are lacking. This study aimed to describe the incidence rates and types of morbidities across the spectrum of ages. METHODS: A total of 2342 consecutive cases were retrospectively reviewed from 2003 to 2020 for 30-day complications. All complications were assessed using the Clavien-Dindo (CD) grading system. Patients were divided into 5 age groups: ≤59, 60 to 69, 70 to 79, 80 to 89, and ≥90 years. RESULTS: The numbers per age group were 1100 patients aged ≤59 years, 684 patients aged 60 to 69 years, 458 patients aged 70 to 79 years, 458 patients aged 80 to 89 years, and 6 patients aged ≥90 years. A total of 427 complications (18.2%) occurred, including 2 mortalities, each in the 60- to 69-year age group and the 70- to 79-year age group, for a mortality rate of 0.2%. The complication rate increased from 13.5% (149) in patients aged ≤59 years to 35.0% (35) in patients aged ≥80 years (P = .006), with CD grades I and II accounting for >70% of complications, except in patients aged ≥80 years (57.1%). CD grades IIIa and IIIb were higher in patients aged ≥80 years (26.5% [P = .001] and 11.8% [P = .021], respectively). CD grade IVa and IVb complications were rare overall. CONCLUSION: There is a modest rate of morbidity that increases as patients age, regardless of hernia type, elective or primary surgery, with most being minor complications (CD grade≤II). Our data should help patients, referring physicians, and surgeons counsel patients regarding the effect of increasing age in ARS and HHR.

BACKGROUND: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms frequently recur after cessation of acid blockers. The presence of a hiatal hernia may worsen GERD symptoms and increase the risk of esophageal malignancy. The aim of this study is to clarify the timing and predictors for recurrence of GERD symptoms after cessation of vonoprazan (VPZ) therapy. METHODS: A retrospective observational study involved 86 patients who underwent cessation of VPZ therapy for symptomatic GERD. Collated data from medical record review included the endoscopic findings and Izumo scale score. RESULTS: The mean duration of continuous VPZ therapy before cessation was 7.9 months. GERD symptoms requiring the resumption of VPZ therapy recurred in 66 of 86 patients (77%). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that overall recurrence-free rates at 6 months, one and two years after VPZ cessation were 44%, 32% and 23%, respectively. Alcohol use, the presence of a hiatal hernia and long-term therapy for more than six months were identified as significant positive predictors for symptomatic recurrence. Notably, hiatal hernia had the highest hazard ratio in both univariate and multivariate analyses. The recurrence-free rate in patients with a hiatal hernia was much lower at 6 months than in patients without a hiatal hernia (15% and 51%, respectively p = 0.002). After the symptomatic recurrence, GERD symptoms improved significantly after one-month VPZ therapy. CONCLUSION: The rate of symptomatic recurrence after VPZ cessation in patients with GERD is considerable. Cessation of acid suppression therapy should be cautious in patients with both a hiatal hernia and GERD.

BACKGROUND: Anti-reflux operations are effective treatments for GERD. Despite standardized surgical techniques, variability in post-operative outcomes persists. Most patients with GERD possess one or more characteristics that augment their disease and may affect post-operative outcomes-a GERD "phenotype". We sought to define these phenotypes and to compare their post-operative outcomes. METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of a prospective gastroesophageal database at our institution, selecting all patients who underwent an anti-reflux procedure for GERD. Patients were grouped into different phenotypes based on the presence of four characteristics known to play a role in GERD: hiatal or paraesophageal hernia (PEH), hypotensive LES, esophageal dysmotility, delayed gastric emptying (DGE), and obesity. Patient-reported outcomes (GERD-HRQL, dysphagia, and reflux symptom index (RSI) scores) were compared across phenotypes using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. RESULTS: 690 patients underwent an anti-reflux procedure between 2008 and 2022. Most patients underwent a Nissen fundoplication (302, 54%), followed by a Toupet or Dor fundoplication (205, 37%). Twelve distinct phenotypes emerged. Non-obese patients with normal esophageal motility, normotensive LES, no DGE, with a PEH represented the most common phenotype (134, 24%). The phenotype with the best post-operative GERD-HRQL scores at one year was defined by obesity, hypotensive LES, and PEH, while the phenotype with the worst scores was defined by obesity, ineffective motility, and PEH (1.5 ± 2.4 vs 9.8 ± 11.4, p = 0.010). There was no statistically significant difference in GERD-HRQL, dysphagia, or RSI scores between phenotypes after five years. CONCLUSIONS: We have identified distinct phenotypes based on common GERD-associated patient characteristics. With further study these phenotypes may aid surgeons in prognosticating outcomes to individual patients considering an anti-reflux procedure.

BACKGROUND: Antireflux procedures (ARPs) are effective treatments for GERD. However, variation in objective and patient-reported outcomes persists. Limited evidence and anecdotal experience suggest that patient sex may play a role. The objective of this study was to compare outcomes after ARPs between male and female patients. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database at a single institution. All patients who underwent an ARP for GERD were included. Demographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes data (GERD health-related quality of life [HRQL] and reflux symptom index), and radiographic hernia recurrence were collected and stratified by sex. Univariable and multivariable logistic and mixed-effects linear regression were used to control for confounding effects. RESULTS: Between 2009 and 2022, 934 patients (291 men and 643 women) underwent an ARP. Reflux symptom index, GERD-HRQL, and gas and bloat scores improved uniformly for both sexes, though female patients were more likely to have higher gas and bloat scores 1 year postprocedure (mean ± SD 1.7 ± 1.4 vs 1.4 ± 1.3, p = 0.03) and higher GERD-HRQL scores 2 years postprocedure (6.3 ± 8.1 vs 4.7 ± 6.8, p = 0.04). Higher gas and bloat scores in women persisted on regression controlling for confounders. Hernia recurrence rate was low (85 patients, 9%) and was similar for both sexes. A final intraprocedural distensibility index 3 mm 2 /mmHg or more was significantly associated with a 7 times higher rate of recurrence (95% CI 1.62 to 31.22, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Although patients of either sex experience symptom improvement and low rate of recurrence after ARPs, women are more likely to endorse gas and bloat compared with men. Final distensibility index 3 mm 2 /mmHg or more carries a high risk of recurrence. These results may augment how physicians prognosticate during consultation and tailor their treatment in patients with GERD.

We report a successful case of gastric cancer with esophageal hiatal hernia treated by laparoscopic surgery. The patient was a 75-year-old woman who was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of early gastric cancer with esophageal hiatal hernia. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection and esophageal hiatal hernia repair using primary suture method without mesh were performed simultaneously. She had a good postoperative course without the recurrence of both cancer and hernia.

BACKGROUND: This systematic review aims to identify genetic and biologic markers associated with abdominal hernia formation. METHODS: Following PRIMSA-guidelines, we searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and COCHRANE databases. RESULTS: Of 5946 studies, 65 were selected, excluding parastomal hernias due to insufficient data. For inguinal hernias, five studies unveiled 92 susceptible loci across 66 genes, predominantly linked to immune responses. Eleven studies observed elevated MMP-2 levels, with seven highlighting greater MMP-2 in direct compared to indirect inguinal hernias. One incisional hernia study identified unique gene-expression profiles in 174 genes associated with inflammation and cell-adhesion. In hiatal hernias, several genetic risk loci were identified. For all hernia categories, type I/III collagen ratios diminished. CONCLUSIONS: Biological markers in inguinal hernias appears consistent. Yet, the genetic predisposition in incisional hernias remains elusive. Further research to elucidate these genetic and biological intricacies can pave the way for more individualized patient care.

BACKGROUND: Sliding hiatal herniation (SHH) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) commonly occur in French bulldogs. Wireless pH monitoring can quantitatively assess acidic GER in dogs affected by SHH. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES: Measure acidic GER in French bulldogs with SHH, pre- and post-brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) surgery, utilizing a wireless pH capsule (Bravo Calibration-free, Medtronic, Minnesota), and correlate with owners' observations of regurgitation. ANIMALS: Eleven French bulldogs diagnosed with SHH via swallowing fluoroscopy. METHODS: Prospective cohort study. A pH capsule was endoscopically placed in the esophagus. Up to 96 hours of data were acquired as the owner logged clinical signs. Spearman's correlation and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests evaluated factors correlated with acid exposure time (AET), defined by the % time pH < 4. In 4/11 dogs, Bravo monitoring was repeated 2-4 months after BOAS surgery. RESULTS: Medians (Q1-Q3) for age and weight were 21 months (17-35.5) and 10.0 kg (8.9-11.5). BOAS severity was mild (3), moderate (4), or severe (4). Medians (Q1-Q3) for AET and reflux events were 3.3% (2.6-6.4) and 70 (34-173). Clinical score (P = .82) and BOAS severity (P = .60) were not correlated with AET, but age was negatively correlated (rho = -.66, P = .03). Median probability (Q1-Q3) that regurgitation was associated with a reflux event was 72.5% (0-99). Percent AET numerically improved in all 4 dogs that underwent BOAS surgery although not statistically assessed. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Wireless pH monitoring documented acidic GER in French bulldogs with SHH, captured subclinical events, and showed improvements after BOAS surgery.

OBJECTIVE: The antireflux surgical technique with the RefluxStop device is one of the latest approaches to treating patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic hiatal hernia (HH) repair with the RefluxStop device in patients with GERD and concurrent large HH (≥4 cm). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed for the first 30 patients with a large HH who consented and underwent HH surgery with the RefluxStop device. The operative technique and outcomes were evaluated to assess safety and feasibility, HH recurrence, dysphagia, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS: Between May 2020 and April 2022, 30 patients underwent laparoscopic HH repair with the RefluxStop device. All patients had typical symptoms of GERD, such as heartburn and regurgitation, and 15 patients (50%) had preoperative dysphagia. Median HH size was 5 cm (interquartile range, 4 to 5). Median operating time was 56 minutes (interquartile range, 52 to 63), with no intra and postoperative complications related to the device. One patient required laparotomy due to adhesions and associated bleeding when accessing the abdomen. All patients had postoperative imaging (video fluoroscopy) on postoperative day 1 and at 3 months, confirming the correct location of the RefluxStop device. One patient (3.3%) needed postoperative balloon dilatation due to severe dysphagia. Reflux symptoms (heartburn and acid regurgitation) resolved significantly in all patients ( P < 0.001) at 6 months. One episode of recurrence of HH (3.3%) occurred during the follow-up period of 6 months.

The indications for surgical treatment of hiatus hernias differentiate between type I and types II, III and IV hernias. The indications for a type I hernia should include a proven reflux disease but the indications for surgical treatment of types II, III and IV hernias are mandatory due to the symptoms with problems in the passage of food and due to the sometimes very severe possible complications. The primary aims of surgery are the repositioning of the herniated contents and a hiatoplasty, which includes a surgical narrowing of the esophageal hiatus by suture implantation. In addition, depending on the clinical situation other procedures, such as hernia sac removal, mesh implantation, gastropexy and fundoplication can be considered. There are various approaches to the repair, all of which have individual advantages and disadvantages. An adaptation to the specific needs situation of the patient and the expertise of the surgeon is therefore essential.
