“…We encountered one similar case in an infant in the literature [4]. To our knowledge, this case report is the first description of a gastric necrosis as a late complication after a Nissen fundoplication in an adult.…”

“…1 Preoperative plain abdominal X-ray and excessive flatulence. Some technical modifications of the Nissen fundoplication were shown to decrease the incidence of the gas bloat syndrome but were less effective in preventing from GERD [1,4]. A tight fundoplication can also induce a gastric dilatation and infarction because of the inability to vomit, as shown in experimental models [5].…”
Early diagnosis and treatment of gastric dilatation after Nissen fundoplication are essential to prevent from severe secondary complications but can be difficult to establish because of atypical symptoms.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
