Abstract

Two infants who required a Nissen fundoplication for severe gastroesophageal reflux developed small bowel obstruction 5 and 21 months postoperatively. Their inability to belch or vomit, coupled with inappropriate airway management during resuscitation led to massive gastric dilation, and eventual infarction of their stomach, duodenum, and small intestines. These complications are preventable with appropriate management.
