[Can gastroesophageal reflux be prevented by inducing a scar tissue ring around the cardia?].
Severe gastroesophageal reflux was accomplished in 18 dogs by circular cardiomyectomy. After this intervention a Vicryl scarf was placed around the cardia in 12 dogs. The Vicryl scarf was absorbed within 6 months and in its place remained a scarred tissue. In the follow up gastroesophageal reflux could not be detected by manometry, pH-metry, radiology and endoscopy. In the control group all 6 dogs died within 3 weeks due to complications of gastroesophageal reflux. On the basis of these data the Vicryl scarf implantation is an effective, simple, new antireflux operation which can be initiated into the human surgical practice.
