Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung
Laparoscopic fundoplication is the standard antireflux procedure. However, side effects such as gas bloating indicate that the procedure is not unproblematic. Laparoscopic mesh-augmented hiatoplasty (LMAH) might be an alternative operation aimed at restoring the intra-abdominal part of the esophagus and reducing the size of the diaphragmatic hiatus.
