Esophagogastric dissociation

Esophagogastric dissociation is a surgical procedure that is sometimes used to treat gastroesophageal reflux, mainly in neurologically impaired children.^[1] It has been suggested as an alternative to Nissen fundoplication for these cases.^[2][3] Preliminary studies have shown it may have a lower failure rate^[4] and a lower incidence of recurrent reflux.^[3]
