Full textBackground: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is defined by the intensity and/or quality of the reflux of gastric or duodenal contents into the esophagus. Surgical treatment of GERD has shown conflicting results and unacceptable recurrence rates, mainly due to herniation of the antireflux valve into the chest. A variety of techniques have been proposed to reduce GERD recurrence, including routine use of prosthesis in cruroplasty. The prevalence of GERD in patients with hiatal hernia (HH) can reach 94%. It is possible that the phrenoesophageal ligament (POL) engaged in the stabilization of the gastroesophageal junction in the abdomen may be an etiologic factor of HH. We conducted a study to evaluate collagen in the constitution of the POL in patients with HH and cadavers without HH. Methods: POL samples were collected from 29 patients with HH and GERD (cases) and 32 samples from cadavers without HH (controls). Total collagen was quantified through the Picro-Sirius histochemical technique, and type-I and type-III collagens were quantified immunohistochemically using a monoclonal antibody. The stained slides were photographed, and images were quantified by computer software (Image Pro Plus) to count the pixels per field. Results: The mean age was 49.5 (±11.5) years for the cases and 38.5 (±13) years for the controls (p < 0.01). Seventeen cases (58.6%) and 6 controls (18.75%) were female (p < 0.01). The quantity of total (p < 0.01), type-I (p < 0.01), and type-III (p < 0.05) collagen was significantly lower, about 60%, in patients with HH compared to controls. Conclusion: Our data indicate that the composition of POL for patients with GERD and HH has fewer total, type I and type III collagen than that of the POL of cadavers without HH. The quality of the POL may be an etiological factor in the development of HH.

Full textEntende-se como hérnia diafragmática (HD) um deslocamento de órgãos abdominais para a cavidade torácica (CT) através de uma solução de continuidade anómala do diafragma. Pode ser adquirida ou congénita, compreendendo este grupo as hérnias diafragmáticas peritoneopericárdicas (HDPP), as hérnias diafragmáticas pleuroperitoneais (HDPlP) e as hérnias do hiato (HH), sendo as primeiras as mais frequentes. A etiologia destas alterações não está totalmente esclarecida, apontando as teorias mais defendidas uma lesão embrionária ou uma alteração da embriogénese como causa. Por norma os cães ou gatos afectados são diagnosticados numa idade precoce. No entanto, se não apresentarem sintomas, a malformação pode ser detectada numa idade mais avançada ou não o ser de todo. O desencadeamento da sintomatologia clínica está associado ao deslocamento do conteúdo abdominal para a CT, sendo os sintomas, por essa razão, fundamentalmente do foro respiratório e gastrointestinal. Dada a inespecificidade dos sinais clínicos, é de extrema importância o exame cuidado dos pacientes. A informação conseguida através da recolha da história prévia do animal, dos sinais clínicos por ele apresentados e da realização do exame físico irá orientar o clínico para um diagnóstico provisório de hérnia diafragmática congénita (HDC). Não obstante, é fundamental recorrer a meios de diagnóstico complementar para se chegar a uma conclusão definitiva. Geralmente, a radiografia e a ecografia são os meios considerados essenciais e decisivos para o estabelecimento do diagnóstico final de HD, podendo recorrer-se a outros métodos auxiliares (estudos radiográficos de contraste, tomografia axial computadorizada (TAC)) quando o mesmo não é possível. Devido à probabilidade do agravamento da hérnia e às complicações que podem surgir, a correcção cirúrgica é a medida terapêutica considerada preferencial, apesar de se poder recorrer ao tratamento médico em alguns casos. De uma forma geral, o prognóstico das HDC corrigidas cirurgicamente é excelente, sendo tanto melhor quanto mais precocemente se proceder à correcção cirúrgica. Durante o período de estágio no Instituto Veterinário do Parque (IVP), foram seguidos 3 casos clínicos de HDC, dos quais apenas em dois foi diagnosticada à partida a existência de uma hérnia. Os três animais foram submetidos a intervenção cirúrgica, tendo recuperado com sucesso após a mesma.
ABSTRACT - Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias: bibliographic review regarding three clinical cases - Diaphragmatic hernia is a protrusion of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity through an abnormal opening in the diaphragm. It may be either acquired or congenital in origin. The last group includes peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernias, the most frequent ones, pleuroperitoneal diaphragmatic hernias and hiatal hernias. The etiology of these defects is not totally clarified. The most accepted theories point to an embryo lesion or an embryogenesis accident as a possible cause. Usually, affected dogs or cats are diagnosed in an early age. However, if they are not symptomatic, the defect may be diagnosed only at an advanced age or not even be diagnosed at all. Clinical signs are associated with abdominal viscera displacement into the thoracic cavity, therefore the symptoms are essentially related to the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. Because clinical signs are not specific, it is extremely important to perform a careful examination of the patients. Information about the animal history, as well as information obtained from clinical signs and physical examination, will guide the clinic to a provisional congenital diaphragmatic hernia diagnosis. Nevertheless, it is essential to use alternative diagnosis techniques to get to a definitive conclusion. Frequently, radiography and ultrasonography are essential and decisive to establish a final diagnosis of the diaphragmatic hernia. However, if it cannot be achieved this way, additional methods (for example, contrast studies or computer tomography) may also be undertaken. Due to the probability of hernia aggravation and the following complications, surgical correction is the recommended treatment, although medical treatment can be attempted in some cases. Generally, the prognosis for surgically treated congenital diaphragmatic hernias is excellent and even with better results when an early surgery is performed. During the training period at IVP, three cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia were followed. Only in two of them was an existing hernia initially diagnosed. All the three animals

Resumo: Introdução: o tratamento cirúrgico da doença do refluxo gastroesofágico através da fundoplicatura realizada por videolaparoscopia apresenta bons resultados a longo prazo e é amplamente aceita como alternativa à manutenção do tratamento medicamentoso. Entretanto, a abordagem cirúrgica aos pacientes portadores de grandes hérnias de hiato ainda é motivo de discordância entre os especialistas. O uso de prótese para reforçar a hiatoplastia é proposta por alguns e descartada por outros, especialmente por temor de complicações relacionadas à prótese. Objetivo: realizar uma análise dos resultados a longo prazo do uso de próteses para reforço da hiatoplastia em pacientes com grandes hérnias de hiato tratadas por videolaparoscopia. Método: realizamos análise retrospectivo com 78 pacientes operados entre janeiro de 2000 e fevereiro de 2011 que eram portadores de grandes hérnias e que foram tratados através de cirurgia videolaparoscópica com emprego de próteses para reforço da hiatoplastia. Foram incluídos no estudo pacientes com tamanho do hiato superior a 5 cm de diâmetro, em hérnias primárias ou recidivadas. As próteses estudadas foram: polipropileno ¿ em modelo de implantação original, desenvolvido em nosso serviço ¿ e biológica absorvível. O acompanhamento foi realizado através de entrevista clínica e exames complementares ¿ endoscopia digestiva alta e/ou radiografias contrastadas de esôfago, estômago e duodeno. Resultados: observou-se maior presença de pacientes do sexo feminino (69%). A idade variou de 33 a 83 anos. A média de idade nos pacientes com hérnias primárias foi 64,7 anos, enquanto que nas hérnias recidivadas, foi de 52,3 anos. Essa diferença foi estatisticamente significante (p=0,0001). O tempo de seguimento médio foi de 45,8 meses para hérnias primárias e 61,4 meses para as recidivadas. (p=0,09). Na entrevista, 64 pacientes (82,0%) permaneciam assintomáticos, 7 (9,0%) queixavam-se de refluxo, 3 (3,9%) apresentavam disfagia e 4 (5,2%) relataram problemas com gases. Foram realizados exames complementares em 68 pacientes (87,2%). Destes 54 (79,4%) apresentavam exames normais, enquanto 14 (20,6%) apresentavam recidiva (da hérnia ou de esofagite). No grupo de hérnia primária ocorreram recidivas em seis pacientes (13%) e no grupo de hérnias recidivadas, oito (36,4%) apresentaram nova recorrência e essa diferença foi estatisticamente significante (p=0,05). Segundo o tipo de prótese, nos pacientes em que foi empregada a prótese de polipropileno, 13,5% apresentavam recidiva anatômica enquanto que na prótese biológica este valor foi de 31,2%, mas essa diferença observada não atingiu nível de significância estatística (p=0,13). Não foram observadas complicações relacionadas à prótese. Conclusão: O uso de prótese de polipropileno, segundo o modelo apresentado, é seguro a longo prazo e tem baixos índices de recidiva a longo prazo. A prótese biológica apresentou maiores índices de recidiva. Nas hérnias de hiato recidivas, os índices de recidiva são maiores que nas hérnias primárias
Abstract: Introduction: the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease by laparoscopic fundoplication has good long-term results and is widely accepted as an alternative to the maintenance of medical treatment. However, surgical approach to patients with large hiatal hernias still causes disagreement among the experts. The use of prosthesis to enhance hiatus is proposed by some and dismissed by others, especially for fear of complications related to the prosthesis. Objective: To perform an analysis of long-term results of the use of prostheses for strengthening hiatoplasty in patients with large hernias treated by laparoscopy. Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of 78 patients operated between January 2000 and February 2011 with large hernias treated by laparoscopic surgery with the use of prostheses for strengthening hiatoplasty. The study included patients with hiatos larger than 5 cm in diameter, in primary or recurrent hernias. The prostheses were: polypropylene - in original model of implementation, developed in our service - and absorbable biological. The monitoring was performed by clinical interview and objective tests - endoscopy and / or barium contrast x-rays of esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Results: there was a higher presence of female patients (69%). The age ranged 33-83 years. The mean age of the patients was 64.7 years in primary hernias, whereas in the recurrent hernias, was 52.3 years. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.0001). The mean follow-up was 45.8 months for primary hernias and 61.4 months for recurrent. (p = 0.09). In the interview, 64 patients (82.0%) remained asymptomatic, 7 (9.0%) complained of reflux, 3 (3.9%) had dysphagia and 4 (5.2%) reported problems with gas. Objective tests were performed in 68 patients (87.2%). Of these 54 (79.4%) had normal results, while 14 (20.6%) had recurrence (hernia or esophagitis). In the primary hernia group relapses occurred in six patients (13%) and in the recurrent hernia group, eight (36.4%) had recurred and this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.05). According to the type of prosthesis, in patients in whom we used the polypropylene prosthesis, 13.5% had anatomic recurrence while on the biological prosthesis this value was 31.2%, but this difference did not reach statistical significance level (p = 0.13). There were no complications related to the prosthesis. Conclusion: The use of polypropylene mesh, according to the presented model, is safe in the long term and have low recurrence rates. The biological prostheses showed higher recurrence rates. In patientes with recurrent hernias, the recurrence rates are higher than in primary hernias

Full textHiatoplasty with prosthesis is considered a polemic procedure. Therefore, we decided to study the utilization of polypropilene prosthesís at this anatomical site. Twenty four New Zealand male rabbits were operated on. Polypropilene prosthesis wrapped with omentum used in group 01. Polypropilene prosthesis only ( without omentum wrapping) was used in group 02. In both groups the prosthetic material was fixed, in a tension free manner, to the medial pillar os the diaphragm muscle. An average of 32,08 days after hiatoplasty, the animals were sacrificed. The operated site underwent macroscopic and microscopic studies with several methods. The latter studies were carried out by several optic histology méthods and by electronic microscopy (transmission and scanning) These studies were able to assess the integration surface of the mesh by conjunctive tissue was obtained. The results suggest that the great omentum is a suitable material to be used as a barrier method

Full textIntroduction: The pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease is multifactorial, where esophageal motility is one of the factors implicated in its genesis. However, there is still no consensus on the existence of an association between esophageal dysmotility and hiatal hernia in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. The objective of this study was to establish the prevalence of esophageal dysmotility in patients with hiatal herina and to determine if herniation is a factor related to esophageal dysmotility. Methods: The study included 356 patients with a clinical diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease submitted to upper digestive endoscopy and esophageal functional dagnostics. Hiatal Hernia was defined endoscopically by a distance equal to or greater than 2 cm between the diaphragmatic constriction and the squamo-columnar junction and esophageal dysmoyility when the esophageal manometry identified the amplitude of the peristaltic waves in the distal esophagus are < 30 mmHg and/or less than 80% of effective contractions. For statistical analysis, the patients were divided into 2 grups: with and without HH. Results: Gastroesophageal reflux disease patients with hiatal hernia had a prevalence of esophageal dysmotility equal to 14.8% and those without hiatal hernia, a prevalence of 7.7% (p = 0.041). The group of patients with hiatal hernia also showed a greater frequency of erosive esophagitis (47.5% versus 24.2%, p <0.001), lower low esophageal sphincter pressure (10.4 versus 13.10; p < 0.001) and greater frequency of individuals with abnormal pH-metry values (p < 0.001). The crude prevalence ratios for esophageal dysmotility, according to the presence of hiatal hernia, was 1.92 (CI: 1.04 - 3.53; p = 0.037), but this association did not persist when controlled for age, esophagitis, altered pH-metry and altered low esophageal sphincter (adjusted PR: 1.69; CI: 0.68 – 4.15; p = 0.257). Conclusion: Despite the prevalence of esophageal dysmotility in the hiatal hernia group being higher than that in the group without hiatal hernia, the association between hiatal hernia and esophageal dysmotility in individuals with gastroesophageal reflux disease disappeared on controlling for relevant co-variables, leading us to believe that in this type of patient, hiatal hernia is not a risk factor independent of these variables.

Full textIntroduction Due to fragility of phrenoesophageal membrane and nearby structures such as diaphragmatic crura (among other causes), hiatal hernias can develop. This results in intrathoracic migration of a portion of the digestive tube through the esophageal hiatus, with added risk of complications such as reflux, esophagitis, or even strangulation. This surgical repair can be performed traditionally with open surgery or, more recently, by minimal invasive surgery. The factors that determine hiatal hernia recurrence after open repair are not yet well understood. Methods Following the PRISMA guidelines, we performed a systematic review of literature regarding risk factors for recurrence after open surgery for hiatal hernia repair. We used both Medline and Scopus libraries. Results We identified a total of 1070 records. After exclusion of duplicates, unavailable and non-relevant articles, we included 18 studies in our qualitative analysis. Discussion Several studies consider the role of acute presentation, higher patient BMI, older age, or the type of surgery with or without a reflux procedure. However, a lack of significant association between these factors and a higher recurrence risk remains. A significant association was found between serious reflux complications the risk of recurrence, in one study. There is also a lack of consensus regarding what constitutes a recurrence, and how to diagnose it. Conclusion The factors related to the recurrence of hiatal hernia after open repair remain controversial. There is a need for prospective studies that allow for a more comprehensive understanding specially with better evidence on why hernias recur and how can this be prevented.

Full textIntrodução: A hérnia do hiato caracteriza-se pela protusão de conteúdo abdominal para a cavidade torácica através do hiato esofágico do diafragma. Afeta ambos os sexos em percentagem idêntica, sendo frequentemente assintomática. O tratamento cirúrgico recomendado atualmente consiste na redução da hérnia, e restauração da função do esfíncter esofágico inferior com fundoplicatura de Nissen por via laparoscópica.Objetivo: pretende-se fazer uma análise retrospetiva da apresentação clinica,diagnóstico, e dos resultados do tratamento cirúrgico da hérnia do hiato numa população de doentes operados no serviço de cirurgia B do CHUC.Material e Métodos: foram estudados 70 doentes submetidos a correção cirúrgica dahérnia do hiato no serviço de Cirurgia B do CHUC, desde janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2014. A maioria (70%) era do sexo feminino, numa proporção de 2,3:1. A média dos I.M.C recolhidos foi de 27,7%. A informação recolhida incluiu dados demográficos, antropométricos, sintomatologia, indicação operatória, exames complementares de diagnóstico, procedimento utilizado e eventuais complicações. A avaliação do sucesso operatório foi extrapolada dos dados das consultas de seguimento que tiveram lugar até 36 meses após a intervenção cirúrgica.Resultados: As manifestações clinicas mais frequentes foram pirose, em 75%, eepigastralgia, em 45%. A hérnia era do tipo I em 80% dos casos e paraesofágica nos restantes, dos quais 30% eram do Tipo III. Foram operados 26 casos por esofagite de refluxo e 19 por falência da terapêutica médica. Realizaram EDA 87% dos doentes, 18,6% pHmetria das 24 horas e 47% manometria esofágica. 91,4% da população realizou redução da hérnia e fundoplicatura de Nissen laparoscópica. Observou-se melhoria dos sintomas em 88,5% dos casos e 6,6% recidivaram. Complicaram com disfagia 17%, dos quais 5,7% realizaram dilatação endoscópica.Conclusão: A HH é operada em idades mais avançadas e pelo menos duas vezes maissintomática no sexo feminino. A hérnia Tipo I é a mais frequente, estando as hérnias paraesofágicas associadas a morbimortalidade pós-operatória mais elevada. O tratamento cirúrgico da HH é realizado ainda em estadios iniciais de esofagite. A fundoplicatura de Nissen laparoscópica com laqueação dos vasos curtos gástricos associada à redução da hérnia e crurorrafia foi o procedimento mais utilizado, tendo sido atingidas taxas de sucesso muito satisfatórias. A pesquisa sistemática de esófago curto é recomendada e a disfagia permanece a complicação mais frequente. A alteração da peristalse esofágica não constituiu fator de risco para o aparecimento de disfagia no pós-operatório.
Background: hiatal hernia consists of the protrusion of abdominal content into the chest cavity through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm. Despite being frequently asymptomatic, studies suggest it is equally distributed between genders, showing symptoms at least twice as more in females than in male patients. Presently, the recommended surgical approach consists on the restoration of the inferior esophageal sphyncter’s function by reducing the hernia and performing laparoscopic Nissen’s fundoplication.Objective: the goal is to make a retrospective analysis of the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and the outcomes of hiatal hernia repair in a population of patients submitted to surgery in the surgical ward B of Coimbra University Hospital Center.Methods: the 70 patients who underwent hiatal hernia repair in the surgical ward B of CHUC between january 2010 and december 2014 were selected to be a part of this study. 70% of the patients were female, in a proportion of 2,3:1. The mean B.M.I. was 27,7 Kg/m2. The gathered clinical data included demographic and antropometric data, symptoms, indication for surgery, diagnostic workup, surgical procedure and postoperative complications. The surgical success rate was based on the data of followup visits that took place until the 36th month after surgery.Results: The predominant symptoms were heartburn, in 75% of the population, andepigastric pain, in 45%. Type I HH was present in 80%, and the remaining 20% presented with a paraesophageal hernia, of which 30% were Type III. Reflux esophagitis was the indication for surgery in 26 patients and failure of medical treatment in 19 others. 87% had an upper endoscopy done, 18,6% a 24 hour pH metry and 47% an esophageal manometry. In 91,4% of cases, hernia reduction with Nissen fundoplication was performed. 88,5% felt an improvement of symptoms and in 6,6% the hernia recurred. 17% complicated with dysphagia, of which 5,7% had to undergo endoscopic balloon dilation.Conclusions: HH is surgically repaired in more advanced ages and is twice as moresymptomatic in the female gender. Type I HH is the most frequent, and paraesophageal hernias are associated with increased morbi-mortality. The surgical treatment of the HH is an option in early stages of reflux esophagitis. Laparoscopic Nissen’s fundoplication, associated with hernia reduction, division of the short gastric vessels and crurorraphy was the most performed procedure, with very high success rates. Systematically looking for short esophagus is recommended and dysphagia remains the most frequent complication. Esophageal dismotility did not constitute a risk factor for post operative dysphagia.

Full textIntroduction: Hiatal hernias are prevalent. Although gastroesophageal reflux related symptoms are more common, hiatal hernias can lead to respiratory symptoms and development or worsening of pulmonary pathologies. Surgical correction of hiatal hernias may be associated with improvement of respiratory symptoms. Objectives: Evaluate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms in patients with indication for surgical correction, evaluate the respiratory symptoms more likely associated with hiatal hernia and evaluate the impact of the surgical intervention on the respiratory symptoms. Methods: Retrospective study of patients submitted surgical hiatal hernia correction in Centro Hospitalar Universitário São João between October 2014 to January 2017. Demographic and clinical data were collected through the Health Electronic Record. Results: Fifty-three patients were included, mean age of 67,2 ± 14,1 years, 37 (69,8%) were females with a preoperative BMI of 28,51 ± 4,5 kg/m2. Most of the patients (86,8%) had, at least, one comorbidity and 11 had a respiratory pathology. Respiratory symptoms were present in 21 (39,8%) preoperative patients, being cough (n=17, 32,7%), dyspnea (n=8 ,15,1%) and wheezing (n=6, 11,3%) the most prevalent. Regarding postoperative respiratory symptoms, there was a reduction of 29,5%, remaining 15 (28,3%) patients with, at least, one respiratory symptom. Cough was present in 11 (20,8%), presenting a reduction of 35,3% and dyspnea in 5 (9,4%) patients with a reduction of 37,5%. Discussion: Surgical correction can reduce these respiratory symptoms and therefore they must be considered when deciding on surgical treatment. We need to consider hiatal hernia as a differential diagnosis in patients with respiratory symptoms.

Respiratory symptoms were present in 21 (39,8%) preoperative patients, being cough (n=17, 32,7%), dyspnea (n=8 ,15,1%) and wheezing (n=6, 11,3%) the most prevalent. Regarding postoperative respiratory symptoms, there was a reduction of 29,5%, remaining 15 (28,3%) patients with, at least, one respiratory symptom. Cough was present in 11 (20,8%), presenting a reduction of 35,3% and dyspnea in 5 (9,4%) patients with a reduction of 37,5%. Discussion: Surgical correction can reduce these respiratory symptoms and therefore they must be considered when deciding on surgical treatment. We need to consider hiatal hernia as a differential diagnosis in patients with respiratory symptoms.
