title: "Collis-Belsey" fundoplication for uncomplicated hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux.
abstract: The combined Collis gastroplasty-Belsey Mark IV fundoplication was used in 86 patients with uncomplicated hiatal hernia followed for up to 8 years. Marked relief of symptoms was obtained, with no initial morbidity and mortality. Recurrence of hernia occurred in 1 patient. Minimal gastroesophageal reflux was observed in a few patients. Manometric and pH studies performed after operation showed a competent valve without notable esophageal reflux. The Collis gastroplasty creates a lesser curvature gastric tube that lengthens the so-called functional esophagus and eliminates tension at the suture line of the Belsey Mark IV fundoplication.
