Patient from Kenya treated for a rare complication after surgery for GERD
Patient from Kenya treated for a rare complication after surgery for GERD A 56 year male from Kenya had severe symptoms of heartburn for many years and was unresponsive to medications. After a detailed evaluation he was diagnosed to have Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with a hiatus hernia. He underwent surgery in the form of fundoplication (wrapping of part of the stomach around the lower esophagus) in his home country. However soon after surgery he developed severe difficulty in swallowing both solids and liquids (dysphagia). Two more surgeries were done within a span of 6 months with the aim of relieving the symptoms but unfortunately after each surgery the symptoms only worsened. His discomfort progressed to a stage where after every meal he would have a feeling of the ingested food being stuck in the chest and upper abdomen. This would progress to severe discomfort and be relieved after vomiting. This symptom has resulted in a fear of eating and significant weight loss.
At this stage he came to IAH and a detailed evaluation was done which included endoscopy and CT scans of the chest and abdomen. These revealed that subsequent to the prior surgical procedures most of his stomach was lying in the chest cavity instead of its normal position in the abdominal cavity. This was also resulting in a marked angulation of the stomach because of which ingested food was not freely passing into the intestine causing his symptoms of severe discomfort and vomiting after ingestion of food. Since he had undergone multiple previous surgeries, he was advised open surgery instead of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. At the time of surgery both his chest and abdominal cavities were required to be opened to allow proper access. The stomach was straightened and pulled down to its normal position to allow ingested food to pass down to the intestine normally.
His post-operative recovery after the complex surgery was uneventful and he has since then returned to his country.
