Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition requiring surgical intervention.
  • Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is a standard surgical treatment for GERD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a specific technique for laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
  • To present the outcomes of 11 patients who underwent this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A standardized laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication technique was employed.
  • Patients were positioned in reverse Trendelenburg with hips flexed.
  • Key steps included esophageal dissection, division of short gastric vessels, and fundic wrap creation using a Maloney dilator.

Main Results:

  • All 11 patients reported complete relief of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.
  • Average operating time was 147 minutes.
  • Patients returned to unrestricted activity within 2-3 weeks, with discharge on postoperative days 2-3.

Conclusions:

  • The described laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication technique is safe and effective.
  • This minimally invasive approach leads to excellent symptom relief and rapid patient recovery.
