- Abstract:
- The case of a 3-year-old child who underwent open antireflux surgery for severe gastroesophageal reflux is presented. One month after the procedure, the child presented with abstinence from feeds, and vomiting after food intake. Esophagogastroscopy ruled out pathology in the area around the wrap. Upper gastrointestinal contrast studies demonstrated a kinking of the duodenal loop. Laparoscopy revealed severe adhesions between the duodenum and liver with kinking of the duodenum. The adhesions were taken down with careful dissection using hooked laparoscopic scissors. The symptoms subsided immediately after surgery and the further course and follow-up examinations were uneventful. The complication of mechanical ileus due to hepatoduodenal adhesions with severe kinking of the duodenum after antireflux surgery and with successful laparoscopic management has never been reported to date.
