Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2005
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a very common disorder, and both medical and surgical treatments have shown outstanding results. Whereas proton pump inhibitors are the mainstay of treatment, laparoscopic fundoplication has become a very attractive alternative due to its efficacy and low morbidity.

Laparoscopic Fundoplication in a Child

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1994
A case of laparoscopic fundoplication is described in a child weighing 25 kg. The patient had severe skeletal deformities. Five trocars were used. The view was excellent. A complete posterior wrap was achieved without transsecting the short gastric vessels. Operating time and expenses were greater than with the conventional technique.

Laparoscopic Rosetti fundoplication

Surgical Endoscopy, 1994
Early experiences with laparoscopic fundoplication using the Rosetti technique are presented and compared with retrospective results from conventional fundoplication procedures. A 360 degrees floppy fundoplication was laparoscopically constructed without division of short gastric vessels. We have performed 60 consecutive procedures.

The economics of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2003
A 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 (

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
