XXXX and progression of @entity355 after antireflux surgery.

@entity1 @entity189 @entity355 @entity2357
The effects of antireflux surgery on @entity355 were studied. Fifty-six @entity1 (45 @entity1 and 11 @entity1 of median age 48.5 (range 20-78) years) with histologically confirmed @entity355 (greater than 3 cm in length) and gastro-oesophageal reflux underwent antireflux surgery. Symptoms were noted and @entity1 underwent manometry and pH recording before and after operation, and annual flexible endoscopy. Fundoplication resulted in a significant improvement in lower oesophageal sphincter pressure (median (interquartile range (i.q.r.)) 8 (5-14) mmHg before operation versus 17 (11-22) mmHg after operation, P < 0.001). Twenty-four of the 56 @entity1 had partial or complete regression of @entity355 (median (i.q.r.) length 8 (3-18) cm before versus 4 (0-10) cm after operation, P < 0.001) but nine showed progression (median (i.q.r.) length 6 (3-11) cm before versus 10 (6-15) cm after operation, P < 0.01) (median follow-up 5.5 (range 2.0-10.5) years). @entity189 developed in one @entity1 . The length of @entity355 was unchanged in 23 @entity1 . @entity2357 was more likely to occur in @entity1 who underwent fundoplication with previous or concomitant vagotomy (chi 2 = 7.21, 1 d.f., P < 0.01) and in those with a good symptomatic result (chi 2 = 23.52, 1 d.f., P < 0.001).
