title: [Simplified laparoscopic surgery in reflux disease by a modified polyglactin scarf].
abstract: The efficacy of an absorbable vicryl scarf has been developed by us for traditional reflux-disease management in cases of hiatus hernias. This vicryl scarf induces a subdiaphragmal connective-tissue fixation of the cardia, and, even after insertion of a prolene-net strip, it could be similarly successful in laparoscopy, increasing again the comfort for the patient.
