    Abstract:
    A retrospective study of 71 patients treated with Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication for a symptomatic esophagitis shows that 82% of the patients are satisfied and symptom-free 2 1/2 years after surgery. 18% have recurrent reflux disease, 15% need medicamentous therapy to control their symptoms, 3% were reoperated on. Possible explantation for recurrent reflux disease are wrap dislocation and wrap disrupture. With one exception recurrences occurred within the first 12 months after operation.
