Gas-Bloat Syndrome After Laparoscopic Fundoplication | Causes, Symptoms, Prevention & Management

Dr. R. K. Mishra Guide 3 months ago

Description

Gas-Bloat Syndrome is one of the most common functional complications following laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and other anti-reflux surgeries. Patients may experience abdominal bloating, early satiety, excessive flatulence, discomfort, and difficulty belching due to the increased resistance at the gastroesophageal junction.

Understanding this syndrome is essential for surgeons to optimize patient selection, surgical technique, and postoperative counselling.
In this comprehensive educational lecture, Dr. R.K. Mishra explains the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, prevention, and management of Gas-Bloat Syndrome after laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery. The lecture also discusses the role of partial versus complete fundoplication, dietary modifications, medical therapy, endoscopic evaluation, and indications for revisional surgery in persistent cases.

This video is designed for general surgeons, gastrointestinal surgeons, residents, fellows, gastroenterologists, and healthcare professionals seeking a deeper understanding of postoperative outcomes following minimally invasive anti-reflux procedures.
