“…The first description of fistula formation between the esophagus and stomach fundus after antireflux surgery was reported in 1975 by Mullen et al 25 One of 2 patients required reoperation, takedown of the fundoplication, excision, and closure of the fistulas. This article has reported the first successful surgical reconstruction of multiple EGF.…”

“…17 Surgically induced ischemia and subsequent tissue necrosis, microscopic perforations, local ischemia, and stitch abscess may be contributing factors after a fundoplication procedure. 11,20,25 Another possibility is an iatrogenic fistula due to full-thickness suture, nasogastric tube trauma, 16,21,22 or dilation procedures. 11 The clinical presentation ranges from exacerbation of GERD symptoms to severe dysphagia and odynophagia.…”

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 case of iatrogenic double lumen esophagus after multiple previous Nissen fundoplications for chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease. There is no standard surgical intervention for the management of this complication. We present a first report of successful robot-assisted surgical reconstruction of a double lumen esophagus.
