Abstract
BACKGROUND: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) showed that laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) and Hill (LHR) repairs are equivalent in treating uncomplicated GERD. We combined both repairs to create a laparoscopic Nissen-Hill Hybrid repair (HYB). The purpose of this study is to compare clinical and objective outcomes of a matched group of HYB to the two cohorts of the RCT.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the RCT and a prospectively collected data base was performed. Data were collected preoperatively, postoperatively short-term (ST) at 6 weeks and mid-term (MT) at 6-12 months. Evaluation was standardized according to the RCT and included three quality of life metrics (QOLRAD, GERD-HRQL, Dysphagia), endoscopy, manometry, pH testing, and barium swallow.
RESULTS: There were 51 HYB, 46 LNF, and 56 LHR patients. Age, BMI, follow-up, and gender were comparable. QOLRAD, HRQL, PPI use, DeMeester scores, and pH% timeLNF, four LHR, and two HYB patients. Reoperations were performed in three LHR, two LNF, and zero HYB patients.
CONCLUSION: Tri-comparison shows that HYB is a promising alternative to LHR and LNF. Side effects were not increased and there were fewer reoperations for failure.
