    Abstract:
    The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the results of the laparoscopic fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease. From January 1997 to February 2001, we performed 8 laparoscopic fundoplication. They are 5 men and 3 women with mean age of 45 [30-67 years]. The delay of apparition the symptoms varied from 6 months to 14 years. Seven patients had a heart burn. The preoperative evaluation included endoscopy, gastrointestinal contrast radiography, 24 hour pH monitoring and esophageal manometry. The surgical procedures were partial fundoplication (Toupet) in 7 cases and complete fundoplication (Nissen) in 1 case. There was no postoperative mortality. Two patients had a postoperative dysphagia. Two patients had persistent epigastric pain without gastroesophageal reflux in endoscopy and esophageal manometry. Laparoscopic fundoplication for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease is a safe and effective procedure with satisfying results.
