title: [Reoperation after failure of gastroesophageal reflux surgery].
abstract: We present 28 patients who underwent surgery after failed procedures due to gastroesophageal reflux with an asymptomatic period over 2.6 years. The most frequent complications resulted in recurrent reflux (86%) and peptic strictures (36%). An abdominal approach was used on all the patients. Reoperation, using the Collis-Nissen gastroplasty (19 cases), Nissen 360 degrees (3 cases), duodenal diversion with Roux-en-Y (3 cases) and Angelchick prothesis (3 cases) gave excellent or good results in 84% of the patients and poor in 4 cases. There was one operative death. All patients were referred for 24 hour pH-monitoring. Sphincter pressure and length of the distal esophageal sphincter were significantly increased over the preoperative values. Our results suggest that the Collis Nissen procedure is a suitable form of treatment for complicated forms of peptic esophagitis after the failed antireflux operations.
