A Comparison of Laparoscopic Toupet versus Nissen Fundoplication in GERD and/or Hiatal Hernia

Dr. Manoranjan Kuswaha, Dr. Kushal Shah

Abstract :

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is used very frequently but may lead to postoperative bloating, inability to belch and dysphagia. Partial wrapping has been reported to be equally effective but associated with fewer unfavorable postoperative symptoms. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to compare the results of a 270� wrap (Toupet) and a 360� wrap (Nissen) in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and/or hiatal hernia.
