Nissen fundoplication with fixation of the wrap
Nissen fundoplication without fixation of the wrap
In this arm, which included 87 patients we performed the following manipulations: NF was supplemented with suturing wrap to the diaphragmatic crura (52 patients) on each side using two non-absorbable stitches. In case of weak conditions of crura or short esophagus (35 patients) fundoplication wrap was sutured to the body of stomach using two non-absorbable stitches on each side. .
Arm included 51 patients, who underwent classic Nissen fundoplication without wrap fixation.
