Abstract

The advance of endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques in recent years has prompted several groups throughout the world to investigate the possibilities for a minimally invasive approach to reconstruct a defective antireflux mechanism in patients with intractable gastro-esophgeal reflux disease. Prospective trials are needed to evaluate the long-term durability and efficiency of these procedures.

Résumé

Ces dernières années, les progrès dans les techniques endoscopiques et laparoscopiques ont incité plusieurs groupes de par le monde à rechercher les possibilités d'une voie d'abord peu invasive pour reconstruire un mécanisme antireflux défectueux chez des patients souffrant de reflux gastro-oesophagien résistant au traitement. Des essais prospectifs sont nécessaires pour évaluer l'efficacieté et la durabilité à long terme de telles procédures.

Resumen

Las técnicas de endoscopia y laparoscopia de avanzada en los últimos años han llevado a varios grupos de diversas partes del mundo a investigar las posiblidades de emplear procedimientos mínimamente invasivos para reconstruir defectos en el mecanismo antirreflujo de pacientes con reflujo gastroesofágico intratable. Aparece necesario realizar estudios prospectivos para evaluar la duración y la eficiencia a largo plazo de estos procedimientos.
