The combined Collis gastroplasty-Nissen fundoplication: surgical procedure and radiographic evaluation.
The combined Collis gastroplasty-Nissen fundoplication consists of a combination of an esophagus-lengthening Collis gastroplasty with 360 degrees complete Nissen fundoplication operation. This report reviews the clinical and radiographic features of 60 consecutive patients who underwent this operation for the control of symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux. The surgical procedure, the technique of postoperative radiographic examination, normal radiographic anatomy, and abnormalities detectable radiographically are briefly described. All patients were examined on the seventh postoperative day initially with iodinated water-soluble contrast medium followed by barium to establish integrity of the gastroplasty tube, fundoplication wrap, and dilated esophageal stricture. Later in the postoperative period, elective barium esophagrams were prompted by complaints of dysphagia (three patients) and symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (five patients).
