Boix-Ochoa (Partial Fundoplication) Treats Reflux, Even in Neurologically Impaired Patients. Can it Take the Title of “Gold Standard” from Total Fundoplication?

ConclusionAlthough there has not any literature demonstrating significant benefits of one procedure, we detected with this largest study in the pediatric literature about Boix-Ochoa fundoplication (more physiologic and easily performed) that it was successful (95%) in protecting reflux even in neurologically impaired patients (98%). We consider Boix-Ochoa (partial fundoplication) to be an alternative method to Nissen (complete fundoplication), and it can be done safely with a high success rate.
