Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly managed with Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
  • This procedure demands advanced laparoscopic skills, presenting a steep learning curve for surgeons.
  • Surgical complication rates are directly correlated with surgeon experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To simplify the complex procedure of Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
  • To facilitate the learning process for surgeons undertaking this operation.
  • To reduce complications associated with the procedure through structured training.

Main Methods:

  • Decomposition of Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication into distinct, logical components.
  • Analysis of potential complications at each stage of the procedure.
