Partial gastrectomy for stomach necrosis in a 13-year-old child four years after Nissen fundoplication
2022, Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :In a second phase, a feeding jejunostomy and a controlled fistulation were performed at different occasions before a reconstruction by esophagojejunal anastomosis [9]. Two cases of gastric ischemia on occlusive syndrome on tissue adhesions, probably aggravated by the gas bloat syndrome and the inability to vomit, have also been described with early death of the patients [6]. In the literature, in adults, the recommended management is a total gastrectomy with esophagojejunostomy in one stage [3,5], more or less associated with feeding jejunostomies [4], or in two stages [7].
Does retching matter? Reviewing the evidence—Physiology and forces
2019, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :At the severe end of the spectrum, gastric dilatation owing to severe gas-bloat or obstruction does not generate pressures that cause a wrap to separate. Instead, in both adults and children who develop intestinal obstruction postfundoplication and who are unable to expel vomit, the development of acute gastric dilatation, with relatively modest but sustained intragastric pressure rises of only 20–30 cmH2O, leads to venous congestion and ischemia of the gastric wall [38] with consequent necrosis and perforation while the wrap remains intact [39,40]. In contrast, there is a growing body of evidence that diaphragmatic stressors and an increased abdominothoracic pressure gradient do lead to wrap failure.

2008, Forensic Science InternationalCitation Excerpt :Alcohol level was 0.01% in heart blood. Severe dilatation of the stomach accompanied by gastric necrosis has been reported in patients who cannot belch or vomit after a Nissen fundoplication and as a complication of pyloric stenosis causing altered gastric emptying [31,32]. Acute gastric dilatation with infarction is recognized complication of trauma [33].
