TYPE OF FUNDOPLICATION FOR LAPAROSCOPICHIATAL HERNIA REPAIR, COMPLICATED BY GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE

Purpose. To analyze short-term and long-term outcomes of surgical treatment of the patients with hiatal hernia complicated by gastroesophageal reflux disease, depending on the choice of fundoplication method.

Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the short and long-term outcomes of the treatment of 171 patients suffering hiatal hernia complicated by gastroesophageal reflux disease was performed. All patients were underwent laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair supplemented by Nissen fundoplication - 109 patients or Toupet fundoplication – 62 patients.

Results. In the Nissen fundoplication group the incidence of intraoperative complications was 9.2% (11 patients), postoperative complications – 8.3% (9 patients), dysphagia in the early postoperative period was noted in 24 (22%) patients. In 5 years after surgery, gastroesophageal reflux was observed in 6 (5.5%) patients, anatomical recurrence in 13 (11.9%) patients. Dysphagia in the late postoperative period was noted in 7.3% (8 patients). In the Toupet fun doplication group the incidence of intraoperative complications was 11.3% (7 patients), the incidence of postoperative complications was 6.5% (4 patients), functional dysphagia in the early postoperative period was noted in 8 (12.9%) patients. In 5 years after surgery, gastroesophageal reflux was observed in 8 (12.9%) patients, anatomical relapse in 13 (11.9%) patients. Persistent long-term dysphagia in the late postoperative period was noted in 2(3.2%) patients.

Findings. The choice of fundoplication method did not significantly affect on the duration of surgery, the frequency of intraoperative and postoperative complications, duration hospital stay, the incidence of early functional postoperative dysphagia, the number of unsatisfactory results in the long term period, including recurrence and dysphagia.
