Summary

The most widely used operative technique for gastroesophageal reflux is total fundoplication where the gastric fundus is sutured around the distal esophagus like a wrap. This operation effectively prevents gastroesophageal reflux but gives rise to postoperative symptoms related to over-competence of the gastroesophageal junction. 40% of the operated patients experience increased flatulence and 20% dysphagia. Anterior fundoplication is an alternative technique where the distal esophagus is anchored to the crura of the hiatus esophagi and only a part of the front wall of the esophagus is covered with fundus. An anterior fundoplication is un attempt to create a more physiologic reflux control and less functional problems postoperatively. The aim with this study is to compare the results postoperatively, both short time and long time results.
