title: [Differential concept on use of laparoscopic anti-reflux operations].
abstract: The introduction of laparoscopic technique in antireflux surgery has created hope for an improvement in patient outcome. Initial experience with minimally invasive procedures show that the application in antireflux surgery depends more on a differentiated indication for operation and an operative procedure designed to remove or compensate the underlying pathophysiologic functional defect. The method of access is of lesser priority. The promising results of this series may encourage continuation of the demonstrated protocol and operative technique.
