title: Laparoscopic rossetti fundoplication.
abstract: A fundal wrap of the abdominal segment of the esophagus, transposed from the Rossetti modification of the classic Nissen fundopfication, is the operation of choice for surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux refractory to medical therapy. Previously validated by open anti-reflux surgery, fundoplication has also proven reliable, effective, and reproducible when performed by laparoscopy, a technique the authors have used routinely since 1989 thanks to the experience gained in vagotomy by a trans hiatal approach.
