Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is common in patients who have undergone lung transplantation and is associated with poorer outcomes, but guidelines are lacking to direct management strategies in this population. We assessed the diagnostic yield of impedance metrics compared to pH-metry alone for detecting GERD among lung transplant recipien...
Contemporary outcomes of esophageal and gastroesophageal junction neuroendocrine tumors.
Published in Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
Adenocarcinoma and squamous cell esophageal cancers have been extensively studied in the literature. Esophageal neuroendocrine (NET)/carcinoid tumors are less commonly studied and have only been described in small series. The purpose of this study was to describe the demographics and natural history of esophageal NETs, as well as optimal treatments...
Assessment of the clinical and allergy profiles of PPI responsive and non-responsive eosinophilic esophagitis.
Published in Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
A subset of patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) respond to proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, however they cannot be distinguished prior to PPI trial and the mechanism of PPI response remains unclear. Improved understanding of the distinct patient phenotypes in PPI-responsive EoE (PPI-r-EoE), PPI-non-responsive EoE (PPI-nr-EoE) and erosi...
Survival after Ivor Lewis versus McKeown esophagectomy for cancer: propensity score matched analysis.
Published in Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
It is unknown whether Ivor Lewis (IL) or McKeown (McK) esophagectomy is preferred in patients with potentially curable esophageal or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. Patients with mid- and distal esophageal and GEJ cancer without distant metastases who underwent IL or McK esophagectomy in the Netherlands between 2015 and 2017, were selected...

Published in Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
Knowledge of neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) in patients with esophageal atresia (EA) is scarce. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence and risk of ADHD, ASD and ID in individuals with EA. Data were obtained from...
Trends in surgical techniques for the treatment of esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer: the 2022 update.
Published in Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
The aim of this study was to evaluate the current practice in surgical techniques for esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer surgery worldwide and to compare the results to the previous surveys in 2007 and 2014. An online survey was sent out among surgical members of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus, the World Organi...
Value of 96-hour ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring in the assessment of patients with refractory acid reflux symptoms ...
Published in Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
Ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring is a diagnostic tool in patients with heartburn and regurgitation. The aim of this study is to evaluate 96-hour esophageal pH monitoring in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), at baseline and under diet that impedes GER. We hypothesized that diet would potentially reduce pathologic acid exposure...
What works best in hiatus hernia repair, sutures alone, absorbable mesh or non-absorbable mesh? A systematic review and ...
Published in Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair (HHR) and fundoplication is a common low risk procedure providing excellent control of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and restoring of normal anatomy at the hiatus. HHR may fail, however, resulting in hiatus hernia (HH) recurrence, and the use of tension-free mesh-augmented hernioplasty has been proposed to redu...
Pathological complete response in multimodal treatment of esophageal cancer: a retrospective cohort study.
Published in Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus
To evaluate pathological complete response (pCR, ypT0ypN0) after neoadjuvant treatment compared with non-complete response (non-CR) in patients with esophageal cancer (EC), and 393 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Survival probability was analyzed in patients with: (i) pCR vs non-CR; (ii) complete response of the primary tumor but persisting...
