Early gastro-oesophageal junction perforation repaired using through-the-scope clips following Nissen fundoplication

Abstract

Abstract Early gastric and oesophageal perforations are rare following laparoscopic fundoplications, with an incidence of 0.9%. If managed operatively, omentopexy or redo-fundoplication may be employed. Here, we present the case of a septic 21 year old patient who presented with an early gastro-oesophageal perforation 7 days following laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, which was successfully repaired endoscopically using haemostatic clips. To date, this technique of perforation repair in the setting of fundoplication has yet to be reported.
