BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic fundoplication remains the gold standard treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, 10% to 20% of patients experience new, persistent, or recurrent symptoms warranting further treatment. Potential predictors for ...
BACKGROUND: Gastroesophageal reflux disease requiring an operative solution is common. Minimally invasive surgery to generate an anti-reflux barrier at the distal esophagus following the principle of the "floppy Nissen" technique has become the gold ...

INTRODUCTION: As robotic surgery increases its reach, novel platforms are being released. We present the first 17 consecutive cases of alimentary tract surgery performed with the Hugo RAS (Medtronic).
BACKGROUND: Two of the most common foregut operations are laparoscopic Heller myotomy and laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. Robotic assistance, compared to standard laparoscopic approach, may potentially grant surgeons advantages such as enhanced v...

INTRODUCTION: The minimally invasive approach using robotic technology is fully incorporated in the treatment of adult pathologies. The first international pediatric studies with a robotic approach date from 2002, and in Spain, from 2009. We present ...
Robot-assisted anti-reflux surgery (RA-ARS) is increasingly being used to treat refractory gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. The IDEAL (Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term follow up) Collaboration's framework aims to improve the ev...

INTRODUCTION: To date, no anti-reflux operations have been reported with the new da Vinci Single-Port (single port (SP)) robotic platform. We aimed to describe this novel surgical approach and evaluate its safety and feasibility.
Double lumen esophagus is an extremely rare condition, developing in most cases as a complication of antireflux procedures or gastroesophageal reflux itself secondary to the severe inflammatory process in and around the lower esophagus. We describe a...
BACKGROUND: Despite the high success rate associated with Heller myotomy in the treatment of primary achalasia, symptom persistence or relapse occurs in approximately 10-20% of patients. Unfortunately, the ideal treatment after failed myotomy is not ...
