USING IMPEDANCE PLANIMETRY (ENDOFLIP®) IN THE OPERATING ROOM TO ASSESS THE GASTROESOPHAGEAL JUNCTION AND PREDICT PATIENT OUTCOMES FOLLOWING FUNDOPLICATION
Bailey Su, MD, Stephanie Novak, MS, Zachary Callahan, MD, Kristine Kuchta, MS, Joann Carbray, BS, Michael Ujiki, MD. NorthShore University Health SystemIntroduction: Our purpose is to evaluate the utility of using a functional luminal imaging probe (EndoFLIP®) intra-operatively to assess adequacy of hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication. Additionally, we hypothesize that these measurements correlate with… Continue Reading
