Collis-Belsey reconstruction of the esophagogastric junction. Indications, physiology, and technical considerations

MB Orringer and H Sloan

Twenty-four patients underwent combined Collis-Belsey reconstruction of the esophagogastric junction. The primary indication for operation in 19 patients was gastroesophageal reflux. Three patients had achalasia, one diffuse spasm, and one an incarcerated combined sliding and paraesophageal hernia. Postoperatively, symptoms were relieved in all 19 patiients undergoing repair for gastroesophgeal reflux with or without peptic strictures of the esophagus, and barium swallows showed no gastroesophageal reflux. Preoperative average mean and peak pressures in the distal esophageal high pressure zone (HPZ) were 1.38 and 2.72 mm. Hg, respectively; two thirds had no measurable HPZ. Postoperative mean and peak pressures were 6 and 12.36 mm. Hg, respectively; average HPZ length was 2.81 cm. Of 19 patients with massive reflux preoperatively, postoperative acid reflux testing demonstrated no reflux in 14 and minimal to moderate reflux in five. Collis-Belsey reconstruction ot the esophagogastric junction effectively relieves symptoms and controls the complications of gastroesophageal reflux.
