Laparoscopic tailored Nissen fundoplication
Surgical Endoscopy, 2010It is difficult sometimes to determine the suture points for proper Nissen fundoplication under laparoscopy. We introduce a new procedure to define the suture points in Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF).After dissection of the hiatus and mobilization of the fundus, the circumference of the esophagus c is measured at a point 2-cm cranial from the

The economics of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2003A major impetus for laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is its purported cost savings compared with medical therapy, but few studies have examined these economic outcomes. The aim was to analyze health care costs and use among a cohort of patients undergoing LNF and compare them with patients with medically treated gastroesophageal reflux disease (

Laparoscopic Versus Conventional Fundoplication
Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1995The operative and short-term results of 29 patients who had an open fundoplication were compared to 36 patients who had a laparoscopic fundoplication. The operative time was 2.8 +/- 0.4 and 3.1 +/- 0.3 h for the open and laparoscopic procedure, respectively.

THE TECHNIQUE OF LAPAROSCOPIC NISSEN FUNDOPLICATION
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995Patients with severe GERD resistant to medical therapy are benefited greatly by laparoscopic fundoplication provided that there is careful preoperative patient selection and evaluation. Preoperative evaluation should include contrast esophagography, EGD with biopsies, stationary manometry, and 24-hour pH analysis.

Laparoscopic Redo Nissen Fundoplication
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 1997Nine patients underwent redo laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication because of failed primary laparoscopic antireflux procedure. Symptoms prior to reoperation included heartburn (n = 5), dysphagia (n = 2), dysphagia and heartburn (n = 1), and early satiety and epigastric pain (n = 1).

Outpatient Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
AORN Journal, 2002ABSTRACTGastroesophageal reflux disease affects more than 40% of Americans, causing heartburn and reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus when bending or lying down. Lifestyle modification, such as weight loss and a diet rich in protein and low in fat and glucose, should increase the patient's resting lower esophageal sphincter pressure. Avoiding

Laparoscopic fundoplication in infants and children
Surgical Endoscopy, 1996Laparoscopic fundoplication is a new method for treating gastroesophageal reflux in children. We present 160 children with gastroesophageal reflux treated by laparoscopic fundoplication.Patients underwent either a laparoscopic Nissen or Toupet fundoplication. Many patients also required gastrostomies and gastric outlet procedures.Twelve patients (7.5%)

A simplified approach to laparoscopic fundoplication
Surgical Endoscopy, 1997There is a certain amount of controversy regarding the need to divide the short gastric vessels (SGV) in laparoscopic fundoplication for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In addition, there is often difficulty in identifying the crural fibers when encircling the lower esophagus.We determine whether it is necessary to divide the SGV ...

Complications of Laparoscopic Fundoplication in the Elderly
Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2003Our objective was to assess the complications of laparoscopic fundoplication in 77 patients older than 70 years of age. The indications for surgery were (1) complications of reflux esophagitis (n = 17), (2) large hiatal hernia (n = 10), (3) asthma and bronchitis (n = 7), (4) the need for other surgery (n = 13), and (5) a patient's desire to discontinue

Surgical technology international, 2015
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder of the foregut. Over the past twenty-five years the developement of instrumentation and techniques to study GERD have revealed it to be a complex disorder. Increasingly effective pharmacotherapeutics have been developed over the same time frame.
