442 Atlas of Gastrointestinal Surgery: Esophagus
Operative Technique
The patient is placed in the lateral thoracotomy position with the left chest up. The left pleural cavity is entered through the sixth or seventh interspace. The mediastinal pleura is opened, and the markedly dilated and hypertrophied esophagus is easily identified. It is mobilized out of the mediastinum with both sharp and blunt dissection. The esophagus is looped with a Penrose drain (2). The hiatus is enlarged so that the fundus of the stomach may be delivered up into the chest. To do this, it is necessary to divide the branches of the left gastric vessels along the lesser curvature of the stomach and the vasa brevia along the greater curvature. The distal esophagus, cardia, and fundus are dis­sected out of the retroperitoneum.
Once the esophagus and stomach have been appropriately mobilized, the fat pad is dissected free from the gastroesophageal junction. The vagus nerves are identified and carefully preserved, and both are swept posteriorly (inset). An esophagomyotomy is performed that extends up onto the esophagus for approx­imately 10 cm and onto the stomach for approximately 1 cm.

This is best done by separating the muscular layer of the esopha­gus from the mucosa with a right angle clamp and then dividing the muscle with the electrocautery on low voltage (3). The muscular layer of the esophagus is easily separated from the mucosal tube, and should be freed for at least 50% of the circumference of the esophagus (4). However, in a small number of cases where repetitive dilatation or toxin injection have taken place preopera­tively, there may be scarring between the muscle and mucosal lay­ers. The integrity of the esophageal mucosa can be checked by inserting a flexible esophagoscope, submerging the area under saline, and insufflating the esophagus while holding distal pressure on the lumen. Any leaks should be repaired with 4-0 absorbable suture prior to the fundoplication.

the distal esophageal sphincter destroyed, a new sphinc­ter is created by a modified Belsey Mark IV procedure. Crural sutures of No. 2 silk are placed, but not tied. In the presence of the esophagomyotomy, it is only possible to place two sutures in each of the two rows of stitches used in the Belsey repair. Thus the first row passes from the fundus of the stomach, 2 cm from the gastroesophageal junction, up through the esophagus, again 2 cm from the gastroesophageal junction. The mattress suture is completed by bringing the stitch back down through esophagus and through the fundus (5). One such suture is placed on either side of the esophagomyotomy and then secured (6).

then placed. The stitch passes from the fun­dus of the stomach, through the esophagus, back down through esophagus and fundus, each being placed 2 cm from the first row of sutures. These are secured, and the two ends then rethreaded on large Ferguson needles and passed through the diaphragm, from the abdominal to the thoracic side (7). The fundus is then reduced below the diaphragm, and the sutures are secured.
The previously placed crural sutures are tied (8) with a 46 French Maloney dilator in place. Since the esophagus is aperistaltic, a Nissen

fundoplication should not be used to create a new lower esophageal sphincter, for it may lead to partial obstruction.

By wrapping the esophagus for only two-thirds of its circum-
ference, with a Belsey Mark IV operation, a lower
esophageal sphincter pressure is created that does not result in
functional obstruction (9, 10, 11). A chest tube is inserted,
and the thoracotomy incision closed.

Achalasia: Laparoscopic Heller Esophagomyotomy and Toupet Repair
Operative Indications
The indications for a laparoscopic Heller esophagomyotomy and Toupet (270˚) fundoplication are identical to those out­lined for the esophagomyotomy and Belsey repair for achalasia in the previous section. Currently, the Toupet fundoplication is probably used more frequently to create a new lower esophageal sphincter than is the Belsey Mark IV operation.
Operative Technique
The patient is positioned supine, and the port locations are identical to those for a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. The abdomen is insufflated via a small incision and Veress needle puncture just above or below the umbilicus. During insufflation, the patient is placed in the reverse Trendelenburg’s position. Once fully insufflated, a measurement is made from the xiphoid (or, more properly, where the costal margins meet near the xiphoid) 16 cm down and 3 to 4 cm to the left of the midline. This affords the best visibility of the angle of His and the space behind the gastroesophageal junction from
the patient’s left. Auxiliary ports are placed under direct vision through the scope.
Initially, the abdomen is explored for other pathology. Then, the lateral segment of the left lobe of the liver is retract-
ed with a fixed laparoscopic retraction device to expose the anterior upper stomach.
As with the Nissen fundoplication, the vasa brevia are divided using an appropriate energy source (1) beginning at
the mid-greater curvature of the stomach and carried to the superior pole of the spleen, exposing the angle of His and the left crus (2). This provides an opening to the retroesophageal space from the left of the esophagus.

The right side of the esophagus and the retroesophageal space are dissected as for the laparoscopic Nissen fundopli­cation, and a small Penrose drain is placed around the gastroesophageal junction for retraction and exposure. The space between the anterior esophagus and the arch of the crura of the diaphragm is carefully dissected and opened, creating a space cephalad into the anterior mediastinum. During this dissection, the anterior vagus nerve is identified and protected. This dissection mobilizes the esophagus, creates a length of intra-abdominal esophagus, and exposes the anterior esopha­gus for the myotomy.
The myotomy can be carried out with cold scissors, cautery scissors, a hook cautery, or other specialized tool. The hook cautery allows fine dissection and lifting of individual fibers. The hook is used to dissect the fibers and to lift them up, away from the tissue below, while energy is applied. This lifting avoids injury to the esophagus. The challenge of this dissection is separation of the outer longitudinal fibers, and division of the inner circular fibers, while not injuring the mucosa (3). Once the proper layer is identified, the dissection becomes clear, as there is normally an easily dissected plane between the mucosa layer and the muscle. The mucosa responds by bulging out once it is released from the muscle. This dissection is carried well down onto the stomach, 2 cm below the crossing veins that mark the junction between the esoph­agus and the stomach. The total length of the myotomy should be at least 7 cm (4).

the gastroesophageal junction using Teflon pledgets, as described for the laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
Then, the 270˚ posterior wrap is constructed by pulling the posterior fundus of the stomach around behind the esophagus with an atraumatic grasper. The fundus is then sutured laparoscopically to the crus on the right, using pledgets (5). Similarly, the anterior fundus of the stomach is sutured to the left crus using pledgets (6).

Once these are secured, each side of the fundus of the stomach is sutured to the divided edge of the esophageal muscle layers (7). In combination, these sutures anchor the 270˚ wrap and keep the myotomized edges of the muscle separated.
The abdomen is then surveyed laparoscopically to ensure that there is no unexpected bleeding or injury. Then, an endoscope is passed orally to examine the construction from within the esophagus (8). If the myotomy is adequate, the scope will pass easily from the esophagus into the stomach. To ensure that there is no defect in the mucosa, some irriga­tion fluid is dripped onto the anterior esophagus while the scope insufflates air. The scope is then withdrawn, and the port sites closed.

Esophageal Spasm: Long Esophagomyotomy and Belsey Repair
Operative Indications
Diffuse esophageal spasm is a disorder characterized by chest pain, secondary to marked uncoordinated contractions of the thoracic esophagus. Esophageal manometrics demonstrate uncoordinated, nonprogressive, high-amplitude contractions in the esophagus. This disorder may initially be confused with coronary artery disease and angina pectoris. Some of these patients undergo extensive cardiac testing, and only when it is normal does the diagnostic workup lead to the esophagus. It is not clear what triggers the spasm in many of these patients, but in up to half of them, emotional stress is associated. Dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux, and a hiatal hernia are usually absent. Interestingly, patients may initially receive some benefit from
the administration of nitroglycerin and calcium channel blockers, further delaying recognition of the entity. If the manage­ment of this disorder with smooth muscle relaxants is unsuccessful, surgical intervention is indicated.
Operative Technique
The patient is placed in the lateral thoracotomy position with the left chest up. The left pleural cavity is entered through the sixth or seventh interspace. The mediastinal pleura is opened and the esophagus identified. The esophagus is often markedly thickened and hypertrophied and is easily palpated in the medi­astinum. Preoperative manometrics can map out the section of esophagus that is involved with the uncoordinated high-amplitude contractions. Generally, it is the distal two-thirds of the esophagus, so an esophagomyotomy that extends up to the aortic arch encompasses all of the involved esophagus. The myoto­my should also extend down onto the stomach.
