Abstract
Abstract
The results of surgical treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux in 133 infants and children clearly demonstrated the superiority of the Nissen fundoplication over the Boerema gastropexy. The failure to control reflux in the gastropexy group (50 patients) was 42 per cent compared with a 9·6 per cent failure rate in the fundoplication group (83 patients). This resulted in a reoperation rate of 24 per cent for the gastropexy procedure compared with 8 per cent for the fundoplication. There was no difference in the incidence of postoperative complications.
