Extended sphincteroplasty for juxtapapillary duodenal diverticulum.

The application of the sphincteroplasty in the treatment of juxtapapillary diverticulum is presented. The relative simplicity of the procedure compared with excision or diversions, or both, may allow more aggressive treatment of such diverticula in borderline situations. In addition, this approach raises the possibility that the sphincteroplasty might be accomplished endoscopically in situations in which the gallbladder has been removed and biliary tract symptoms persist.

Gastroesophageal fundoplication improves symptoms in refractory asthma.

Gastroesophageal (GE) reflux has been etiologically linked to a number of pulmonary diseases. Subclinical pulmonary aspiration from nocturnal GE reflux has been proposed as a cause of asthma. A patient with severe asthma, refractory to conventional medical therapy, is presented. The asthma was presumed to be secondary to gastroesophageal reflux and indeed the patient became asymptomatic following a Nissen fundoplication procedure. This case report documents that surgical correction of GE reflux may be an appropriate therapeutic maneuver in asthmatics who subclinically aspirate as a consequence of GE reflux.
