Fundoplication consideration
Pytanie
What is a good age and/or weight to have stomach surgery for reflux?
Odpowiedź naszych ekspertów
Most babies outgrow reflux. Children with CdLS often don't outgrow it. We do surgery when medical therapy fails. Failure includes: Growth failure from vomiting Respiratory disease from GER Refractory esophagitis on biopsy I would do aggressive medical therapy first, including medication and dripping feeds into the stomach or small intestine. The smaller you are and the more “complicated” a patient you may be, the worse you do with surgery. A fundoplication has at least a 20% serious complication rate in children with special needs.
