Is laparoscopic Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication a safe and effective treatment for both Acid and bile gastroesophageal reflux in patients poorly responsive to proton pump inhibitor? Context: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) poorly responsive to standard dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. A total of 35 patients (19 women, 16 men, mean age 44.6 ± 14.01 years) were enrolled. All the patients underwent symptom questionnaires, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, esophageal manometry, and combined 24-hour esophageal pH and bilirubin monitoring. Following this, the patients with persistent pathological esophageal acid and/or bilirubin exposure underwent laparoscopic antireflux surgery, followed by clinical and instrumental 12-month follow-up. One year after surgery, there was a significant improvement of symptom score, compared with standard PPI dose period (3.54 ± 1.67 vs 20.8 ± 10.9, P < .0001; paired t test) and mean percentage total time acid and bile exposure showed a significant decrease (4.9 ± 2.9 vs 2.03 ± 0.74 and 8.3 ± 3.03 vs 0.84 ± 0.56, P < .0001; paired t test).

In patients with GERD poorly responsive to standard PPI dose, laparoscopic Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication appears to be a safe and effective treatment of symptoms, esophageal damage, as well as both acid and bile reflux. Final Decision: yes
