Journal ArticleDOI

A learning curve for laparoscopic fundoplication. Definable, avoidable, or a waste of time?

David I. Watson, +2 more
- 01 Aug 1996 - 
TL;DR: Experienced supervision should be sought by surgeons beginning laparoscopic fundoplication during their first 20 procedures, which should minimize adverse outcomes associated with an individual's learning curve.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective Double-Blind Randomized Trial of Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication With Division and Without Division of Short Gastric Vessels

David I. Watson, +12 more
- 01 Nov 1997 - 
TL;DR: Division of the SGVs during laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication did not improve any clinical or objective postoperative outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of major and minor surgery on plasma glutamine and cytokine levels.

M. Parry-Billings, +4 more
- 01 Oct 1992 - 
TL;DR: The decrease in the plasma glutamine level following major surgery may contribute to the state of immunosuppression, which follows major surgery, and the relationship between amino acid and cytokine metabolism is worthy of further study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laparoscopic anterior 180-degree versus nissen fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Joris A. Broeders, +7 more
- 01 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: At 1 and 5 years, dysphagia and gas-related symptoms are lower after 180-degree LAF than after LNF, and Esophageal acid exposure and esophagitis are similar, with no differences in heartburn scores, patient satisfaction, dilatations, and reoperation rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Five-Year Outcome After Laparoscopic Anterior Partial Versus Nissen Fundoplication: Four Randomized Trials

Joris A. Broeders, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: At 5 years, patients who underwent an anterior 90° or 180° partial fundoplication had less side effects than those who underwent Nissen fundolication and were equally satisfied with the overall outcome, which supports the use of anterior 180° Partial Fundoplication for the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux.
