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