Resumen

The modern history of surgery for gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is rich. Since the 1930s, GER has been associated with hiatal hernia. The first operations were designed to correct the anatomic abnormalities by reducing the hernia and closing the crura. This led to a 50% recurrence rate of reflux symptoms, so these procedures were abandoned.^{1 Allison P.R. Reflux esophagitis, sliding hiatus hernia and the anatomy of repair Surg Gynecol Obstet 1951 ; 92 : 419-431

Die transpleurael resektion der kardia Dtsch Chir 1937 ; 249 : 311-316 [cross-ref]

He performed his first fundoplication for GER in 1955, a 360-degree 6-cm fundic wrap around the distal esophagus.^{35 Nissen R. Eine einfache operation zur beeinflussung der refluxoesophagitis Schweiz Med Wochenschr 1956 ; 86 : 590-592

Incompetency of the gastric cardia without radiologic evidence of hiatal hernia J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1961 ; 53 : 33

The floppy Nissen fundoplication: Effective long term control of pathologic reflux Arch Surg 1985 ; 120 : 663-667

Nissen fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease: Evaluation of primary repair in 100 consecutive patients Ann Surg 1986 ; 204 : 9-20 [cross-ref]

The easiest fundoplication to perform and teach, as well as the most common operation performed in the United States, is the Nissen procedure, and this was the first to be performed laparoscopically in 1991.^{19 Geagea T. Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication: Preliminary report on ten cases Surg Endosc 1991 ; 5 (4) : 170-173 [cross-ref]

Haga clic aquí para ir a la sección de Referencias} Since then there have been several large series of laparoscopic fundoplication showing safety, efficacy, good quality of life, short hospital stay, and early return to work. As well, a cost savings over open surgery has been demonstrated in some series.^{10 Coster D.D., Bower W.H., Wilson V.T. , y al.
