Résumé

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long term efficacy of laparoscopic treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). PATIENT AND METHODS: Between 1(st) January 1992 and 31 December 1996, 161 patients underwent complete or partial laparoscopic fundoplication for a symptomatic GERD. One hundred and twenty three patients were submitted to Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication, 26 patients to Nissen fundoplication and 12 patients to a partial posterior Toupet fundoplication.141 patients were evaluated at 3 months, 2-years and 5-years. Since undergoing the operation, four patients died of unrelated causes, 16 patients could not be contacted for follow up (10%). pH monitoring and oesophageal manometry were performed preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The patients were evaluated 2 and 5-years after surgery by specific phone questionnaire. RESULTS: There was no mortality, the morbidity rate was 1.2% and the conversion rate was 5%. Incidence of dysphagia 3 months after surgery was 23.4%, and 5-years after 12%; 12% of patients had recurrent symptoms at 5 years. CONCLUSION: The overall satisfaction rate at 5 years was 91.4%. Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication seems to have better results at 5-years regarding postoperative dysphagia and symptoms recurrence.
