“…For patients with severe GORD surgical treatment is an effective way to control the gastro-oesophageal re¯ux. The most commonly used surgical procedure is a 360°f undoplication 4,5 which has conventionally been performed via a midline upper abdominal laparotomy. The surgical treatment aims at constructing an effective mechanism capable of preventing re¯ux of gastric contents into the oesophagus while maintaining the ability to swallow and belch 6 .…”

“…Hiatal plication is necessary to reduce an excessively wide opening in the diaphragm for passage of the oesophagus; oesophagopexy is essential to avoid sliding of the oesophagus; gastropexy helps in maintaining the stomach in a correct position; the antireflux procedures prevent gastro-oesophageal reflux from increasing the pressure of the LES (Sivacolundhu et al 2002). Different techniques have been proposed to avoid gastro-oesophageal reflux (Leonardi et al 1977), but the Nissen fundoplication is the most frequent technique performed (Bright et al 1990;Sivacolundhu et al 2002). In the case reported here the Nissen fundoplication could be indicated but, with reference to the literature, we decided not to perform it (Callan et al 1993;White 1993;Lorinson and Bright 1998;Sivacolundhu et al 2002), to avoid the severe complications reported: dysphagia, inability to belch, "gas bloat" and recurrence of stomach herniation with possible strangulation (Gaskell et al 1974;Callan et al 1993).…”

“…The reflux evaluation occurrence by applying pressure on the stomach has been widely used in experimental studies and all showed an increase in intragastric pressure and stretching esophagus segment through the involved valve 16,24,28 . During surgery, the spontaneous reflux occurrence was observed with stomach compression through refluxed fluid collection into the esophagus and analysis with pH tape.…”
