To assess the feasibility, the acceptability and the safety of Day-case laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication Aim
20 patients (12 males, 8 females) Age: Median (Range) 47(25-69) ASA I or II Adequate home support Counselled in out patient clinic Written information sheet Pre-assessment clinic Admitted on day of surgery at 07.30 Patients
Standard anaesthetic, analgesia and anti-emetic protocol Granesetron 1mg iv Rocuronium (0.1mg/kg) iv Propofol (8-12mg/kg/hour)/fentanyl (to a total of 30 m/kg) iv Sevoflurane/nitrous oxide and fentanyl iv Anaesthetic technique
Diclofenac 100mg pr on induction 20ml 0.5% bupivicaine infiltrated Cyclizine, Co-proxamol, morphine, tramadol prn Co-Codamol 2 tablets, 4 hourly Diclofenac 100mg, 8 hourly Metoclopramide 10mg Tramadol 100mg Analgesia
Operative technique • Standard 5 port approach • 360o Nissen fundoplication over 54FR bougie “optional” • Selective division of short gastric arteries • Posterior crural repair
Surgeon telephone number District nurse visit Visual analogue scores pain and nausea Analgesia requirement and patient satisfaction at 2 week follow-up Post-operative care and assessment
Median (range) anaesthetic and operating time 88 minutes (40-155) All patients discharged on the day of surgery, 6hr 40m (4.5-9hrs) None of the patients required readmission One patient was assessed in casualty department the following morning No post-operative complications at 2 weeks Results
Hours post surgery 4 12 24 48 Pain 2 (0-9) 3 (0-9) 3 (0-8) 2 (0-5)* Nausea 0 (0-10) 1 (0-9) 1 (0-8) 0 (0-10) Median (range) *p=0.045 Pain and nausea scores
13 patients used single analgesia (Co-dydramol or diclofenac) for between 2 and 7 days (median 2 days) 2 patients needed additional opiate analgesia (Tramadol) for 2 and 3 days 5 patients used no analgesia following discharge None of the patients took anti-emetics at home Analgesia and anti-emetics
All the patients were contacted by the surgeon on the night of discharge 6 patients were not contacted by a district nurse the following day Follow up
All the patients were happy with the information that had been provided for them All said that they would recommend the procedure as a daycase to a friend 17 patients expressed complete satisfaction and would be happy to undergo daycase laparoscopic surgery again Patient satisfaction
Laparoscopic fundoplication can be successfully undertaken as a day case Patients find it acceptable It appears to be safe Adequate home support is necessary Conclusions
Retrospective Study of Lap Nissen 2004-2006 Numbers of Day cases performed Return Rates What Next?
Defined as True Day Case Discharged in Morning Pre-ward round Discharged in Morning Post Ward Round Admitted to Main Hospital Inpatient Procedure Day Case
2 patients One at day 6 to A/E with Chest Infection One at day 8 with abdominal pain and vomiting Readmission
93% of Lap Nissens completed as day case/ short stay patient Not age dependent (p=0.25 Anova) Not date Dependent (p=0.46 Anova) Conclusion
Patient Surgical Nursing Keys to successful day case
Patient selection Education/Counselling Expectation Patient support At home At hospital Patient Factors
Appropriate operation Good Anaesthetist PONV Analgesia Training the “team” Surgical Factors
Dedicated ward Well defined pathway Discharge criteria Dietetic follow-up Information sheets Enthusiastic team Nursing Factors

To assess The long term clinical outcome of 360o laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication The clinical outcome of a selective approach to division of the short gastric arteries Aims
The Wrap 2cm Long 54F boogie Fully mobilise the gastric fundus Large window Mobile wrap Operative Technique
150 consecutive patients Single surgeon March 1994- January 2000 Telephone Interview Clinical Outcomes Chi-squared test for statistics Method
