ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate surgical laparoscopic treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, effectiveness and complications by the same surgical team. Material and technique (method): 129 patients with gastro esophageal reflux disease treated by laparoscopic surgery were evaluated. Results: 89 male patients were and 48 females, with an average age of 41.5 years. Panendoscopy was performed in all the patients, manometries in 78% and pHmetries in 21%. Four fundoplications were performed at 360o and 125 were posterior fundoplications at 270o. The post surgical follow-up ranged from 1 to 12 months. Major complications appeared on 2 patients and minor on 17. The average operative time was 71 min. Just one conversion was necessary. The average hospital stay was 31.30 h. Conclusion: The laparoscopic surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease is safe, efficient and offers good results in the longitudinal, without modifications in life style.
