Five-year follow-up of a randomized clinical trial of laparoscopic total <i>versus</i> anterior 180° fundoplication

Abstract

Anterior 180 degrees partial fundoplication was as effective as total fundoplication for managing the symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux in the longer term. It was associated with a lower incidence of side-effects, although this was offset by a slightly higher risk of recurrent reflux symptoms.
