Background: We investigated Quality of Life (QoL) and Johnsson & DeMeester score of patients after Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication.
Materials And Methods: From January 2007 to June 2008, 43 patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux underwent laparoscopic Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication; 7 were lost during the follow-up. Patients underwent endoscopy, 24-hour pH-metry, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Health-Related Quality-of-Life (GERD-HRQL), and Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaires preoperatively, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery.
Results: Endoscopic findings revealed complete healing of esophagitis in all patients. Barrett esophagus was still present. Six patients reported persistence of symptoms but postoperative pH-metry and endoscopy showed the absence of reflux; 2 patients (5.5%) were still on proton pump inhibitor therapy at 12 months. Seven patients (19.4%) reported dysphagia for solids for at least 3 months. Readmission for dysphagia was required for 2 (5.5%) and 1 patient underwent endoscopic dilatation. At 6 and 12 months, no dysphagia was reported. During the follow-up, no gas-bloat syndrome was reported. The Johnsson & DeMeester score and QoL measurement obtained from GERD-HRQL and SF-36 revealed a significant improvement in the related domain. At 6 months, 23 patients (63.8%) were completely satisfied and after 12 months, 30 patients (83.3%) were satisfied.
Conclusions: Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication is safe and effective for the treatment of GERD, improving QoL.

Objective: The present study makes a comparative assessment of the Floppy-Nissen (FN) and Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication (NRF) procedures.
Methods: Included in the study were 80 patients who presented to the General Surgery Department outpatient clinic of Balcalı Hospital of the Cukurova University Faculty of Medicine with gastroesophageal reflux between March 2010 and March 2013 All patients were operated on by the same surgeon using the laparoscopic FN or NRF techniques in a randomized controlled manner. The preoperative and postoperative reflux-specific and nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms of the patients were compared.

Non-oncological pathology of the esogastric junction (EGJ) is an area of interdisciplinary interest for many practitioners (endoscopist, gastroenterologist, surgeon, radiologist). This is due to the increased incidence of esogastric junction benign pathology, especially gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), currently considered the disease of the 21st century. The overall incidence of GERD is increasing annually.

Anti-reflux surgery is an effective treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Nevertheless, surgery is still indicated with great caution in relation to the risk of complications, and in particular to postoperative dysphagia (PD). To compare the clinical outcomes, with particular focus on the incidence and severity of PD, of laparoscopic Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication (NRF) and floppy Nissen fundoplication (FNF) with complete fundus mobilization, in the surgical treatment of GERD.

The aim of this study is to evaluate outcomes of Nissen-Rossetti fundoplication in-terms of objective measures and quality of life evaluation instruments. For the period in observation, the chronic GERD patients, who had undergone LNRF surgery, were evaluated. The long-term outcome was assessed by subjectively comparing the preoperative and postoperative symptoms and Gastroesophageal reflux-Health related quality of life index.
