The Impact of Ineffective Esophageal Motility on Patients Undergoing Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation

George N. Baison et al.

Summary: Objective: To evaluate and characterize outcomes of MSA in patients with IEM. The study found that although MSA improves patients with gastroesophageal reflux and normal motility, many patients with IEM have lower rates of objective GERD resolution, lower resolution of existing dysphagia, higher rates of new onset dysphagia and need for dilation, which should be counseled to the patients before surgery.

Impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP) measurements persist long term after anti-reflux surgery

Hoover Wu et al.

Summary: The functional lumen imaging probe provides objective measurements of the gastroesophageal junction during laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery. This study aimed to describe the changes in functional lumen imaging probe measurements during postoperative endoscopy and assess their long-term outcomes. The results showed that functional lumen imaging probe measurements after fundoplication were consistent over time, while patients who underwent magnetic sphincter augmentation had a tighter gastroesophageal junction.

S148: Long-term patient-reported outcomes of laparoscopic magnetic sphincter augmentation versus Nissen fundoplication: a 5-year follow-up study

Sean M. O'Neill et al.

Summary: Laparoscopic magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) appears to offer similar long-term improvement in disease-specific quality of life as laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF). However, MSA may be associated with the risk of reoperation and device removal.

Impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP™) reveals changes in gastroesophageal junction compliance during fundoplication

Hoover Wu et al.

Summary: Compliance and distensibility of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) are strongly associated and show similar directional changes during anti-reflux surgery. GEJ compliance of 80-92 mm(3)/mmHg is associated with the best patient-reported outcome scores, while avoiding a compliance of <= 79 mm(3)/mmHg may prevent postoperative dysphagia.

S151: impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP™) after magnetic sphincter augmentation (LINX®) compared to fundoplication

Hoover Wu et al.

Summary: This study compares FLIP measurements during magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) with Nissen and Toupet fundoplication and explores the impact of MSA on the geometry of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). The study found that MSA resulted in lower minimum diameter, cross-sectional area, and distensibility index (DI), but there were no differences in postoperative reflux symptom index (RSI), GERD-HRQL, and dysphagia score compared to Nissen fundoplication.

Severe Dysphagia is Rare After Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation

Milena Bologheanu et al.

Summary: This study evaluated postoperative dysphagia rates, risk factors, and management after magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA). The study found that severe dysphagia requiring intervention was rare after MSA, with only 1% of patients undergoing endoscopic dilatation and 1% treated conservatively for dysphagia. LINX (R) device size <= 13 was identified as the only factor associated with postoperative dysphagia. Overall, postoperative total GERD-HRQL score was significantly lower than preoperative score, and most gastrointestinal symptoms improved in the majority of patients.

Effect of Increased Intra-abdominal Pressure on the Esophagogastric Junction A Systematic Review

Stefano Siboni et al.

Summary: With high-resolution esophageal manometry, it has been recognized that both the lower esophageal sphincter (intrinsic sphincter) and the muscle of the crural diaphragm (extrinsic sphincter) contribute to the antireflux barrier. Increased intra-abdominal pressure is a major force in causing gastroesophageal reflux, especially in the presence of a hiatal hernia.

Safety and efficacy of magnetic sphincter augmentation dilation

Reid Fletcher et al.

Summary: There is no clinical credence to the manufacturer's recommendation for the use of fluoroscopy and limitation to 15 mm when dilating a patient for dysphagia after MSA implantation. Use of a larger size dilator was not associated with perforation or device erosion, but also did not reduce the need for repeat dilation.

Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation: Poor Consensus Among Experts Regarding Key Technical Aspects of Implantation

Steven G. Leeds et al.

Summary: The study found that surgical experts have high consensus on the suitable size of hiatal hernia for MSA implantation and the tension on hiatal repair, but lack consensus on other aspects of mediastinal dissection and MSA implantation. There is a need for further standardization of the surgical procedure to improve teaching effectiveness and ensure efficacy and safety outcomes when the device is used in the community.

Summary: This study aimed to measure the outflow resistance caused by magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) in patients free of postoperative dysphagia using high-resolution impedance manometry. The results show an increased esophagogastric junction outflow resistance measured by intrabolus pressure (iBP) after MSA, with a significant correlation between iBP and incomplete bolus clearance percentage.

The role of magnetic sphincter augmentation in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease

Luigi Bonavina et al.

Summary: Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) has evolved to include full hiatus repair, expanding its indications to various scenarios beyond early stage gastroesophageal reflux disease. The procedure has shown favorable outcomes in reducing reflux symptoms, medication dependency, and esophageal acid exposure over a 12-year follow-up. Further studies are needed to confirm the cost-effectiveness of MSA in patients with more advanced disease-stage and prior gastric surgery.

Summary: The laparoscopic magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) procedure is safe and effective in reducing symptoms, proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) use, and esophageal acid exposure in patients with severe GERD. Patients with severe GERD had higher rates of dysphagia and higher GERD-HRQL scores compared to those with mild to moderate GERD.

Summary: The study on magnetic sphincter augmentation revealed that smaller device sizes are more likely to be removed or eroded. The 7-year cumulative risk of removal was 4.81% and erosion was 0.28%. The primary reasons for removal were dysphagia/odynophagia, persistent GERD, and unknown/other causes.

More beads, more peristaltic reserve, better outcomes: factors predicting postoperative dysphagia after magnetic sphincter augmentation

Rebeca Dominguez-Profeta et al.

Summary: Factors predicting dysphagia following Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation (MSA) include peristaltic reserve assessed by Multiple Rapid Swallows (MRS) during high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) and the size of the MSA implant. An adequate peristaltic reserve and a larger device size correlate with a decreased incidence of postoperative dysphagia, without compromising the anti-reflux barrier. Routine assessment of peristaltic reserve with preoperative HRM should be considered prior to MSA placement.
