The Role of Fundoplication after Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy in Reducing Postoperative Symptoms in Patients with Achalasia: A Controlled Clinical Trial |
|
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) is considered the standard surgical approach in patients newly diagnosed with achalasia worldwide. However, proceeding to fundoplication after LHM remains controversial due to the observed postoperative symptoms, including dysphagia and regurgitation. This study was conducted to compare the postoperatively experienced regurgitation and dysphagia between those undergoing LHM with fundoplication and those with mere LHM. METHODS:This four-year controlled clinical trial was performed on adult patients with esophageal type two achalasia, referring to the Shariati Hospital, who gave their written informed consent to enroll. The diagnosis of achalasia was confirmed using manometric assessments. The control group underwent LHM with fundoplication, while the cases received LHM without fundoplication. The validated Achalasia Patients Questionnaire was used for assessing the experienced symptoms pre- and postoperatively. Also, esophagography was used to investigate the alterations of the symptoms pre- and postoperatively. RESULTS: A total of 48 patients were evaluated. 23 were assigned to the case group, while 25 were considered the controls (male to female ratio: 25 to 23). The mean age of the patients was 36.94 years, and the average disease duration was 6.22 years. Cases and controls were matched demographically. There was no statistically significant difference between the cases and controls regarding postoperative active or passive regurgitation or dysphagia to either solids or fluids. Also, the mean score of total clinical symptoms after the surgery was not significantly different between cases and controls. Lastly, esophagography revealed significant improvement regarding all the symptoms postoperatively (P=0.001); however, no statistically significant difference existed in this regard between cases and controls. CONCLUSIONS:Our results indicate no significant difference regarding the postoperative achalasia-related symptoms, namely regurgitation and dysphagia, between those patients undergoing LHM with and without fundoplication. However, further studies are required to thoroughly investigate the effects of various fundoplication techniques in relation to all achalasia-related symptoms to confirm these results. |
