Abstract:
Laparoscopic surgery offers the patient the advantages of minimally-invasive surgery for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Our experience with 46 laparoscopic fundoplications is favorable. The indications for surgery for patients with esophageal reflux disease remain unchanged and should not be extended. However, the good results should facilitate the decision for surgery. Several comparative studies show the safe application of laparoscopic techniques in the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
