title: [Laparoscopic fundoplication: current data].
abstract: Laparoscopic fundoplication is as effective as its open counterpart, allowing reduced morbidity, shorter hospital stay and recovery, lower consumption of analgesics, and very low mortality, with no significant differences in early functional outcome. Rate of early recurrence is similar after partial and total fundoplication, but but the partial approach has a significantly reduced rate of reoperation for failure, mainly due to postoperative dysphagia. Long-term follow-up is required to evaluate dysphagia and quality-of-life.
