Esophagogastric fistula secondary to teflon pledget: a rare complication following laparoscopic fundoplication

Laparoscopic fundoplication has become the standard operation for gastroesophageal reflux disease. In our service, a laparoscopic fundoplication is performed as a 2‐cm floppy 360° wrap with division of the short gastric vessels and the fundoplication is sutured using a prolene 2/0 mattress suture (E...

description Laparoscopic fundoplication has become the standard operation for gastroesophageal reflux disease. In our service, a laparoscopic fundoplication is performed as a 2‐cm floppy 360° wrap with division of the short gastric vessels and the fundoplication is sutured using a prolene 2/0 mattress suture (Ethicon, USA) and buttressed laterally with two teflon pledgets (PTFE 1.85 mm; low porosity, Bard, USA). We report a patient with post‐operative dysphagia due to an esophagogastric fistula caused by erosion of a teflon pledget. This is the first such case in 734 laparoscopic fundoplications performed between January 1991 and December 1998. Reoperation was required, resulting in a prolonged convalescence. A review of current literature has not revealed any similar cases. Causes for this rare complication are postulated.
