Randomized double-blind trial of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication <i>versus</i> anterior partial fundoplication

Abstract

Nissen fundoplication cured reflux in all patients up to 2 years, but 5 per cent required revisional surgery. Recurrent reflux was more common after anterior fundoplication, but dysphagia was rare. Patient satisfaction was excellent in both groups. Revisional laparoscopic surgery was safe and usually successful.
