Randomized Trial of Division Versus Nondivision of Short Gastric Vessels During Nissen Fundoplication: 20-Year Outcomes
Conclusions:
Although 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 in this trial.
