Laparoscopic Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication offers a safe and effective alternative to open surgery for reflux disease. This minimally invasive approach shows promise in treating patients refractory to medication or requiring long-term drug therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

  • Anti-reflux surgery rates have declined due to improved medications and surgical complication rates.
  • Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication remains crucial for medically refractory or long-term medication-dependent GERD patients.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Summary:

  • 22 patients underwent planned laparoscopic Nissen-Rossetti fundoplications, with 21 successfully completed laparoscopically.
  • No intraoperative complications occurred; one patient experienced temporary dysphagia.
  • Significant healing of esophagitis was observed in 19 patients, with improvement in 2 others within 12 weeks.

Impact:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Laparoscopic fundoplication is a viable alternative to open surgery for GERD.
  • This technique may reduce the long-term costs and risks associated with lifelong medication therapy for well-indicated patients.
