Laparoscopic tailored Nissen fundoplication

Surgical Endoscopy, 2010
It 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

Laparoscopic Versus Conventional Fundoplication

Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1995
The 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, 1995
Patients 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, 1997
Nine 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).

Laparoscopic fundoplication in infants and children

Surgical Endoscopy, 1996
Laparoscopic 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%)

Laparoscopic floppy Nissen fundoplication

The American Journal of Surgery, 1999
Good results for antireflux surgery are obtained when proper patients are selected, trained surgeons perform the operation, and proper techniques are used. As our prior results showed higher rates of dysphagia without fundus mobilization (Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication), we now perform complete mobilization on all patients.

A simplified approach to laparoscopic fundoplication

Surgical Endoscopy, 1997
There 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, 2003
Our 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

Training system for laparoscopic fundoplication

Minimally Invasive Therapy & Allied Technologies, 2003
Laparoscopic fundoplication is widely used today as a surgical standard for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, the procedures are complicated and require advanced laparoscopic skills. In addition, surgical complications correlate with the surgeon's technique and experience. Thus, a training course in laparoscopic fundoplication should be

Outpatient Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication

AORN Journal, 2002
ABSTRACTGastroesophageal 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
