Laparoscopic Wedge Fundectomy for Collis Gastroplasty Creation in Patients With a Foreshortened Esophagus

Abstract

The laparoscopic wedge-fundectomy Collis gastroplasty can be performed safely and is associated with a low prevalence of new-onset dysphagia and esophagitis. The addition of a Collis gastroplasty to an antireflux operation is an effective strategy in patients with short esophagus, and its more liberal use is encouraged.
