Abstract
Although most patients with reflux can be managed with medical therapy, some require surgical intervention to manage their disease. Newer technologies, such as magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA), have been promoted as the replacement of fundoplication. However, as time has elapsed, our institution noticed the need for the removal of MSA devices. Although a few reports have described MSA device removals, we provide a deeper explanation of how to perform a robotic device removal. Our article describes the technical steps and includes a video to demonstrate how to complete the surgery robotically.
期刊介绍:
Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery is the first journal whose main mission is to disseminate information specifically about advances in technology and techniques that lead to less invasive treatment of cardiothoracic and vascular disease. It delivers cutting edge original research, reviews, essays, case reports, and editorials from the pioneers and experts in the field of minimally invasive cardiothoracic and vascular disease, including biomedical engineers. Also included are papers presented at the annual ISMICS meeting. Official Journal of the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery
