Popis: Background Scleroderma esophagus is a rare entity. Only few case reports of esophagectomy were done and reported for this condition. We are presenting this rare case of failed fundoplication and mesh repair with a diagnosis of GERD and hiatus hernia, which was found later on due to Scleroderma with Esophageal involvement. Methods 58 year old female admitted with dysphagia following laproscopic fundoplication with mesh repair of crura with a diagnosis of GERD and hiatus hernia.She presented with persistent vomiting and loss of weight.On evaluation, her Upper GI scopy revealed dilated esophagus with sluggish peristalisis. Since the patient had tightness of skin over the distal extremities, face and fish mouth appearance with thinning of nail, Skin biopsy was taken. The skin biopsy was reported to be scleroderma.The esophageal manometry demonstrated failed esophageal peristalisis with high normal LES pressure due to tight fundal wrap.The patient was treated with mesh remova, Transhiatal esophagectomy with gastric pull-up and cervical Anastomosis.Post operatively the patient was treated with hydrocholoroquine and predinisolone. Results The patient is free of dysphagia and is on regular follow up. Conclusion In case of failure, detailed evaluation including High resolution manometry (MII HRM) has to be done before doing laparoscopic fundoplication for GERD has to rule out uncommon and rare disorders of esophagus. Detailed clinical examination in GERD patients has to be done to rule out systemic disease like scleroderma.In case of failed fundoplication for GERD, patients have to investigated for the failure.So patients with incapacitating esophageal neuromotor disease, a more radical approach in the form of esophagectomy may be safer and more reliable than attempting another procedure and risk another failure.
