[Laparoscopic modified partial posterior Toupet fundoplication].
We describe the technique of the laparoscopic posterior partial fundoplication used by us for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. We use the division of short gastric vessels for the mobilisation of the gastric fundus in addition to the Toupet partial posterior fundoplication modified by Coster. The fundoplication is achived with only 5 stiches, 3 for the right hemivalve and 2 for the left one. We also present the advantages, the indications, the contraindications and the main complications of the procedure.
