2018, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :Children with neurologic impairment account for 24%-54% of patients undergoing antireflux surgery.26 Pearl et al showed an almost 4-fold increase in redo fundoplication in neurologically impaired children.19 The study by Ngerncham et al challenges this, showing no statistically significant association between neurologic impairment and recurrent GER.27
Total esophagogastric dissociation: single center experience
2017, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Not only are the risks of failure reduced with primary TOGD in children with severe NI, the risk of vagal nerve injury and difficult dissection associated with rescue TOGD is also reduced [19]. Other problems with fundoplication in children with NI include retching, gas bloat, dysphagia and dumping syndrome [4,24]. In our study, only 13% of children had symptoms of pain or bloating on feeding and 26% of children had retching following surgery.
