| Popis: | Transthoracic Nissen fundoplication was used for the correction of gastroesophageal reflux in five mentally retarded patients with severe kypho-roto-scoliosis. This deformity may result in a gastroesophageal junction so high above the left costal margin that transabdominal fundoplication is extremely difficult. Operative morbidity was minimal. One wrap disruption occurred that required reoperation. Results have been satisfactory 6 to 24 months postoperatively. |
