A prospective investigation by Cowgill et al. will be published in the November issue of Journal of Surgical Research. The authors compared hospital costs of initial fundopilcation versus a repeat procedure for a failed fundoplicaiton. The authors noted that fundoplication resulted in a reduction in dysphagia frequency and that dysphagia severity was reduced. Length of stay was significantly longer for patients requiring “redo” fundoplications and hospital costs were significantly greater.
