Partial or total fundoplication for GERD in the presence of impaired esophageal motility

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is well established for the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux, and excellent longer term outcomes have now been reported following both total (Nissen) and partial fundoplication. Even though the most commonly performed operation remains a Nissen fundoplication, some surgeons advocate the routine use of a partial fundoplication, either anterior or posterior, and excellent long term outcomes have also been reported following these procedures.^1-3
