Abstract
The authors studied the short- and long-term results of an esophageal lengthening procedure (Collis gastroplasty) combined with a Nissen fundoplication in the management of patients with shortened esophagus and stricture secondary to gastroesophageal reflux disease. There are several options for managing a shortened esophagus. There have been few long-term series with analysis of results regarding a lengthening procedure combined with a total fundoplication. A personal series of 52 patients was examined with complete follow-up available for an average of 7 years. There were no deaths, esophageal leaks, or esophageal complications in the early postoperative period. Control of reflux was excellent and all patients had their dysphagia improved. The majority of patients with preoperative strictures required at least one postoperative dilation, but in most the need for dilation was short term. The Collis-Nissen procedure is a safe and reasonable alternative in the small subset of patients with severe reflux disease causing a shortened esophagus and stricture.Keywords
