    Abstract Purpose: Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease often undergo a 24hrpH test to confirm pathological reflux before undergoing surgery. However, a negative pH test can occur in some individuals with reflux, and a case might still be made for antireflux surgery based on symptoms of reflux even in the absence of endoscopic oesophagitis. The long-term outcomes in patients who underwent antireflux surgery despite negative preoperative test results were determined.
    Methods: Patients were selected from a prospective database. 745 patients met the inclusion criteria; typical esophageal reflux symptoms, absence of a large hiatus hernia, pre-operative 24-hour pH study performed, endoscopy, and post-operative symptom and satisfaction follow up available at 5 years. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on 24hrpH study and endoscopy results; negative pH & negative endoscopy (n=65); negative pH & positive endoscopy (n=72); and positive pH (n=608) controls. The negative pH and endoscopy group underwent surgery based on clinical assessment and typical esophageal reflux symptoms. Baseline and follow-up outcomes at 5 years were evaluated using 0-10 analog scores which assessed heartburn, dysphagia and satisfaction with the overall outcome. Data were analyzed to compare the groups.
    Results: Groups were well matched for demographics and preoperative symptom scores. At median 5 year follow-up, clinical outcome scores were similar between groups for heartburn, dysphagia, and overall satisfaction. Mean heartburn scores were 1.80 in the negative pH & endoscopy group, 1.88 in the negative pH & positive endoscopy group, and 1.91 in the positive pH group (p= 0.663). Mean satisfaction scores were high in all groups; 8.13, 7.31, and 7.72 respectively (p=0.293).
    Conclusions: No differences in clinical outcome scores were found. The negative pH & endoscopy group had high satisfaction scores and low heartburn and dysphagia scores. These findings support antireflux surgery in well selected symptomatic patients with a negative preoperative pH test.

    Abstract Background: Breast reduction surgery has been shown to be the most effective treatment for symptomatic breast hypertrophy in women. However, existing studies have been limited to a relatively short-term follow-up. This study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes following breast reduction surgery.
    Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of women aged 18 years and above who underwent breast reduction surgery over a 12-year period. Participants completed a series of patient-reported outcome measures, including the Short Form-36 (SF-36), BREAST-Q reduction module, Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), and study-specific questions preoperatively, 12 months postoperatively, and at a long-term follow-up of up to 12 years postoperatively.
    Results: Long-term outcome data were obtained from 103 participants. The median follow-up time following surgery was 6.0 years, range 3-12 years. The mean SF-36 scores remained stable and significantly higher than baseline over time, with no significant differences found in all eight subscales or summary scales. BREAST-Q scores remained significantly higher than baseline in all four scales. MBSRQ scores for appearance evaluation, health evaluation, and body areas satisfaction score remained significantly higher than scores reported preoperatively; in contrast, scores for appearance and health orientation and self-classified weight were significantly lower. Compared with normative data, long-term outcome scores remained stable and at levels equivalent or beyond population norms.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrated that patients continue to report a high level of satisfaction and improved health-related quality of life in the longer term following breast reduction surgery.

    Abstract Introduction: Gastroesophageal reflux disease affects a significant portion of the Australian and world population. Minimally invasive laparoscopic fundoplication is a highly effective treatment in appropriately selected patients, with a 90% satisfaction rate. However, up to 5% will undergo revisional surgery. Endoscopy is an important investigation in the evaluation of persistent or new symptoms after fundoplication. Our study sought to evaluate the inter-rater reliability and variability in assessing fundoplication with endoscopy.
    Methods: Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) surgeons and gastroenterologists were invited to join the cohort study through their professional membership with two societies based in Australia. Participants completed a two part 25-item multiple choice questionnaire, involving the analysis of ten static endoscopic images post-fundoplication.
    Results: A total of 101 participants were included in the study (64 UGI surgeons and 37 gastroenterologists). Over 95% of participants were consultant level, working in non-rural tertiary hospitals. Total accuracy for all 10 cases combined was 76% for UGI surgeons and 69.9% for gastroenterologists. In three of the 10 cases, UGI surgeons performed significantly better than gastroenterologists (p < 0.05). When assessing performance across each of the 4 questions for each case, UGI surgeons were more accurate than gastroenterologists in describing the integrity of the wrap (p = 0.014). Inter-rater reliability was low across both groups for most domains (kappa < 1).
    Conclusion: Our study confirms low inter-rater reliability between endoscopists and large variations in reporting. UGI surgeons performed better than gastroenterologists in certain cases, usually when describing the integrity of the fundoplication. Our study provides further support for the use of a standardized reporting system in post-fundoplication patients.
