Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung
Because fundoplication-related side effects are frequent, we evaluated laparoscopic mesh-augemented hiatoplasty (LMAH) as a potential treatment option for gastroesophageal reflux disease and/or symptomatic hiatal herania. LMAH aims to prevent reflux solely by mesh-reinforced narrowing of the hiatus and lengthening of the intra-abdominal esophagus.
