Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common condition often managed with medication.
  • Surgical intervention may be an alternative for patients with persistent or severe symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for symptomatic GER and achalasia.

Main Methods:

  • Sixteen patients underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (360-degree wrap).
  • Two patients with achalasia also had an extended distal esophagomyotomy.
  • Two cases required conversion to open laparotomy due to anatomical challenges.

Main Results:

  • All 16 patients achieved complete symptom relief.

  • The average hospital stay was four days.
  • No major intraoperative complications were reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is an effective and safe procedure for managing GER and achalasia.
    • Early results are encouraging, suggesting a viable alternative to long-term medical therapy.
