Abstract

Double lumen esophagus is an extremely rare condition, developing in most cases as a complication of antireflux procedures or gastroesophageal reflux itself secondary to the severe inflammatory process in and around the lower esophagus. We describe a case of iatrogenic double lumen esophagus after multiple previous Nissen fundoplications for chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease. There is no standard surgical intervention for the management of this complication. We present a first report of successful robot-assisted surgical reconstruction of a double lumen esophagus.
