Abstract:
Upper midline laparotomy in the presence of pulmonary failure is often complicated by a prolonged period of mechanical ventilation postoperatively. We report the successful performance of laparoscopic fundoplication, without ventilatory support, in a woman with end stage pulmonary disease and resting hypercarbia, one month prior to lung transplantation.
