Laparoscopic anterior fundoplication offers a surgical option for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, potentially reducing long-term side effects compared to total fundoplication. This article details a specific technique for this less invasive procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly treated with laparoscopic fundoplication.
  • Nissen total fundoplication is the standard, but partial fundoplications are gaining acceptance due to fewer long-term side effects.
  • Anterior and posterior partial fundoplications are alternatives to the Nissen procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a specific technique for laparoscopic anterior fundoplication.
  • To present an alternative surgical approach for GERD management.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of a laparoscopic anterior fundoplication technique.
  • Focus on surgical steps and procedural nuances.

Main Results:

  • The article outlines a feasible technique for laparoscopic anterior fundoplication.
  • Implies a potentially safer alternative to total fundoplication for GERD.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic anterior fundoplication is a viable surgical option for GERD.
    • This technique may offer a reduced risk profile for long-term side effects compared to Nissen total fundoplication.
