THIS MONTH'S FOCUS:
UPPER GI SURGERIES:
REDO PROCEDURES AFTER FAILURES OF HIATAL HERNIA AND GERD TREATMENTS

The focus of this month is dedicated to the reoperations, often complex, performed after failures of gastroesophageal reflux and paraesophageal hernia surgery. Different clinical situations are outlined and managed using diverse surgical procedures, representing the current therapeutic approaches to these complex situations.

THIS MONTH'S HOW TO:
Collis lengthening procedure for shortened esophagus

In our March HOW TO section, discover the Collis gastroplasty, a prerequisite procedure in order to create an antireflux repair in case of hiatal hernia with short esophagus. John Leigh Collis originally described the technique in 1957, fashioning a gastroplasty tube to lengthen the esophagus. A Nissen fundoplication complements the Collis gastroplasty to achieve an antireflux repair.
