title: [Laparoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal reflux in children].
abstract: Since 1998 we have operated 5 patients with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) by laparoscopic procedure, aged between 6 and 16 years. In the 3 smaller patients we have done the Boix-Ochoa antireflux technique. In the other 2 patients we have done the Nissen fundoplicature. At 3 months of postoperative course, the 24 hours-pHmetry is normal in all the patients. They also refer the absence of symptomatology of vomiting and/or pyrosis. In 3 patients we could do a postoperative manometry of the distal esophagic sphincter, with normal values. The postoperative dysphagia of the first seems to be lesser in the group treated with the Boix-Ochoa technique.
