[20 years in the management of reflux disease using fundoplication].
During the past twenty years fundoplication has found widespread propagation. Due to its effectiveness it is today the most often applied operative procedure of reflux-preventing surgery. As such the method must be reserved for clearly demonstrated reflux disease and its organic complications. False indication and incorrect technique have burdened results of such operations with unnecessary complications. The steps to a successful surgical reconstruction of the cardia are thus shown. In the future, the results of this surgical method will have to be improved more by correct indication instead of changing the surgical technique.
