Jejunal interposition for recurrent gastroesophageal reflux in children.
There is limited experience with surgical treatment for recurrent gastroesophageal reflux after an antireflux procedure. In four pediatric patients with recurrent reflux after surgical therapy, interposition of an isoperistaltic segment of jejunum produced excellent short-term results. Further follow-up is needed as experience broadens. At the present time, this procedure merits consideration in patients with recurrent gastroesophageal reflux.
