Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) refers to the effortless, spontaneous reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus, and accounts for approximately 75% of all esophageal pathologies. It is physiologically common, especially in the postprandial period [The prevalence of the endoscopic detection of esophagitis in symptomatic patients is 20% – approximately 100 times higher than in the normal population [In recent years, developments in both medicine and surgery have led to an increase in discussions of the optimum treatment approach, especially between gastroenterologists and surgeons, and today the leading treatment method is considered to be PPI [When we examine the randomized studies in the literature on the division versus non-division of short gastric vessels during Nissen fundoplication. Kinsey–Trotman in their study laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication has durable efficacy for heartburn symptom control at up to 20 years follow-up, division of short-gastric vessels failed to confer any reduction in side effects, and was associated with persistent epigastric bloat symptoms at late follow-up [The present study makes a comparative assessment of the postoperative period (duration of surgery, complication development, hospital stay) and short-term outcomes (subjective assessment of, for example, the reduction of symptoms and improvement in quality of life, as well as an endoscopic demonstration of whether or not pathological acid reflux has been resolved) of the Floppy–Nissen and Nissen–Rossetti fundoplication procedures from among the laparoscopic fundoplication alternative performed for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
