Abdominal approach to the Collis gastroplasty and Nissen fundoplication.

This method is especially indicated in patients with severe reflux esophagitis and dilatable esophageal strictures, where existing cardiac and pulmonary disease would make a thoracic approach a greater liability to the patient.
