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]
