Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Nissen fundoplication is the established surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
  • Advancements in surgical techniques allow for laparoscopic approaches to fundoplication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the benefits of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication compared to traditional methods.
  • To identify potential advantages in patient recovery and complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • Review of outcomes for patients undergoing laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
  • Comparison of complication rates, hospitalization duration, and return to normal activities.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic fundoplication may lead to fewer adhesive bowel obstructions.

  • Reduced wound complications and postoperative pulmonary issues are potential benefits.
  • Shorter hospital stays and earlier return to diet and activity are observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication presents a potentially safer and more efficient surgical option for GERD.
    • The minimally invasive technique may improve patient recovery trajectories.
