Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyRandomized controlled trial of laparoscopic anterior 180° partial versus posterior 270° partial fundoplication.
Previous trials show good outcomes following anterior and posterior partial versus Nissen fundoplication for gastro-oesophageal reflux. However, it is unclear which partial fundoplication performs best. This study compared anterior 180° versus posterior 270° fundoplication. ⋯ Both partial fundoplications are effective treatments for gastro-oesophageal reflux. Posterior partial fundoplication is associated with less reflux symptoms offset by more side effects.
