Abstract
An obese, 10-year-old boy presented with symptoms of pain and apnea due to gastroesophageal reflux that was unresponsive to medication. A laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication was performed, and the child was discharged from the hospital within 36 hours of the operation. The rationale and technique of a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux in childhood is described.Entities:
