| Popis: | We report a prospective evaluation of 100 patients who underwent laparoscopic fundoplication according to Toupet. All these cases where suffering from gastro-oesophageal reflux resistant to medical treatment or recurring after stopping it. Only one conversion into laparotomy was required. Perioperative morbidity (4%), mortality (0%), median hospital stay (4 days) and return to work (3 weeks) were lower than in case of open surgery in the literature. One year after the operation, clinical results were similar to those of laparotomy with 93% of patients free of symptoms. Excellent results of this technique lead us to assert that laparoscopic Toupet procedure is an interesting way of treating the gastro-oesophageal reflux that does not respond to medical treatment. |
