“…In this case, there was no history of ingestion of caustic material or other type of injury. 3 , 4 , 5 The patient’s immediate progress after the procedure was optimal, without adverse events, which implies that this procedure is safe and can be performed on an outpatient basis. After 7 months of follow-up, the patient continues to be asymptomatic.…”

“…An esophageal septum is an extremely rare endoscopic finding, generally associated with aggression of the mucosa caused by caustics, prolonged use of a nasogastric tube, or by esophageal reflux disease. 1 , 2 , 3 We report a case of esophageal septum in a 61-year-old patient who was evaluated because of 7 months of dysphagia. 1 , 4 …”

“…8 Some of these patients have received medical treatment with pump inhibitors to alleviate symptoms and although endoscopic clip application to close the fistula has been reported, surgery is the most effective treatment to close the fistula, and redo the Nissen fundoplication. 2,9,10 All the cases described in the literature solved the problem by open surgery, but we believe that minimal-invasive surgery can be a better approach. In experienced hands, laparoscopy is a good therapeutic option because it allows dismantling the previous surgery and performing the new fundoplication with minimal complications and the benefits of mini-invasive surgery.…”

Esophagogastric fistula is an extremely rare complication of Nissen fundoplication surgery. Progressive dysphagia and odynophagia are the most frequent symptoms reported. Diagnosis is usually made two or three years after surgery, and although endoscopy is the gold standard to confirm diagnosis, radiologic barium swallow typically shows an image of a double column at the lower third of the esophagus and must be recognized as pathognomonic in patients with dysphagia after Nissen fundoplication. We report the first case completely resolved by laparoscopy and we recommend this approach in selected cases.

“…Most frequently, it has been noted in Crohn's disease, 2 GERD, 2 and as a sequelae of fundoplication. [1][2][3][4] Although the terms ''double-lumen esophagus'' and ''esophagogastric fistula'' are often used interchangeably, FIG. 1.…”

“…Esophagogastric fistula is suggested in patients with new or recurrent dysphagia or reflux several months after esophageal surgery, particularly fundoplications. 1,3,4 Confirmatory studies include endoscopy and fluoroscopy, although recent reports have demonstrated computerized tomography may be an effective imaging modality as well. 2 It should be noted that neither endoscopy nor fluoroscopy is 100 per cent sensitive.…”
