“…18 The most commonly used definitive surgical treatment is the redo fundoplication or second reconstruction. 4,12,13,15,20 The senior author of this case report described the first transgastric division of the common wall of DLE restoring the esophagogastric continuity in 2013. 4 The same approach using a laparoscopic technique was described by McKenna et al in 2014 to divide a large fistula and restore esophagogastric continuity.…”

“…7,24 However, there is no standard management of postoperative DLE, and nonoperative management alone seems to be an insufficient treatment. 11 Endoscopic techniques by marsupialization, 22 dilation, 11 and fistula clipping 13 were described. Duffield and Bright applied endoscopic argon plasma coagulation ablation followed by injection of Histoacryl glue (B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany), resulting in the effective closure of the false lumen and resolution of symptoms at 5-week follow-up.…”

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.

“…We believe our patient's fistula developed as a consequence of constant irritation from pledgets, causing it to erode from the gastric serosa into the esophageal lumen on both sides of the wrap. 2 …”

“…Regarding laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery we present the fifth case of this unusual complication [ 1 - 3 ]. Overall, pathogenetic causes include prolonged untreated reflux disease with ulcerations and erosions, migration of the wrap, intraoperative injuries, ischemic necrosis, tissue reaction with used sutures or Teflon pledgets, and local existing malignancy or prior surgery [ 2 ]. When symptomatic, esophagogastric fistula can be treated conservatively with anti-secretory agents or endoscopically with clip application (either through or over the scope); for non-responding cases laparoscopic gastroplasty or even open surgery could be an option [ 3 ].…”
