Abstract
To avoid gastroesophageal reflux which is reported to occur in about 4-25 per cent after Heller esophago-cardiomyotomy, a modified gastro-fundoplication was designed using a transabdominal approach. Forty patients with idiopathic esophageal achalasia were subjected to this surgery. There were no serious complications and suppression of dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux manifestations were excellent.Entities:
