Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease due to postpneumonectomy syndrome
Journal Title: Current Thoracic Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Postpneumonectomy syndrome is a rare condition caused by rotational displacement of mediastinum over time after pneumonectomy. Usually, dynamic airway obstruction is the predominant symptom. We report the case of a 40-year-old lady who underwent left pneumonectomy due to mucoepidermoid carcinoma 3 years ago and presented to our department with recalcitrant gastroesophageal reflux symptoms such as heartburn and odynophagia. She also had objective reflux findings in pH monitorization. Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication was performed and resulted in symptomatic relief.
