Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1998
Symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux in children has been identified with increasing frequency over the last two decades. Agreement regarding the elements of a complete diagnostic work-up and the timing and specific surgical procedures for treating reflux has been difficult to achieve. Laparoscopic fundoplication is a routine procedure in some pediatric

Watson fundoplication in children: a comparative study with Nissen fundoplication
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2007Nissen fundoplication is the gold standard antireflux procedure in children. In 1996, one pediatric surgeon adopted the anterior fundoplication described by Watson in 1991. This procedure is reported to achieve good reflux control while permitting burping, active vomiting, and reducing gas bloat.

Abdominal Imaging, 1997
The aim of this work is to describe the computed tomographic (CT) anatomy in patients who underwent Nissen's fundoplication. Forty patients (mean age = 61 years) with peptic esophagitis (nine cases), refractory gastroesophageal reflux (11 cases), and hiatal hernia (20 cases) were studied.

Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication
Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 2010This article and video presents our Toupet procedure. It is a modern adaptation of Toupet's original technique. Toupet described his technique of fundoplication in 1963 (Toupet, Mem Aca Chir 89:394, 1963). He had little experience but saw the importance of a partial wrap to avoid postoperative dysphagia.

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2008The dissection is started performing a crural dissection with visualization and preservation of both vagus nerves, followed by circumferential dissection of the esophagus at the gastro-esophageal junction. Adequate intra-mediastinal mobilization of the esophagus is performed to obtain 3-4 cm of intra-abdominal esophagus without undue downward traction ...

Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2020GERD is a spectrum disorder, and treatment should be individualized to the patient's anatomic alterations. Trans-oral incisionless fundoplication (TIF 2.0) is an endoscopic procedure which reduces EGJ distensibility, thereby decreasing tLESRs, and also creates a 3-cm high pressure zone at the distal esophagus in the configuration of a flap valve. As it

Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1993A technique for laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is described and a series of 11 cases is presented. The technique secures the patient to the operating table with three safety straps and the patient is then placed in a reverse Trendelenburg position with the hips flexed.

Laparoscopic Fundoplication and Gastrostomy
Surgical Innovation, 1998Fundoplication and gastrostomy are among the more common operative procedures performed in infants and children. This article reviews the techniques, results, and complications of the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux in 389 consecutive pediatric patients over the last 5 years.

An Evaluation of the Nissen Fundoplication
Radiology, 1976The characteristic radiological findings which follow a Nissen fundoplication are reviewed. The esophagus may be narrowed but is intrinsically normal. A pseudotumor at the medial aspect of the fundus is generally present. The history and radiographic findings can normally differentiate this defect from neoplasm or a nonoperated hiatal hernia ...

Gastrointestinal complications of fundoplication
Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2005In children with medically refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), fundoplication is effective and safe. However, in a subset of patients, gastrointestinal dysfunction occurs postoperatively. Symptoms include chest pain, persistent dysphagia in 5%, gas bloat in 2% to 4%, diarrhea in up to 20%, and dumping syndrome in up to 30%.
