1Chirurgische Klinik, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
Abstract:
We report on 48 patients, treated by laparoscopic fundoplication for pronounced gastroesophageal reflux disease. The results show that laparoscopic fundoplication is a very safe, gentle, and successful procedure for the therapy of gastroesophageal reflux disease. We regard laparoscopic fundoplication as a good alternative to long term medical therapy if a careful diagnosis and indication is provided.
