Influence of Wrap Fixation Technique on the Results of Fundoplication

Firstly, we performed left crural dissection, division of the short gastric vessels, right crural dissection, and esophageal mobilization. Then repair of HH were made by simple cruroraphy if the size of the defect was less then 10 сm² otherwise mesh for reinforcement of cruroraphy was used. Creation of the wrap was made by passing posterior fundus behind the esophagus from left to right, followed by stitching the edges of the stomach with three interrupted sutures. Wrap was fixated to both diaphragmatic crura or to the body of stomach using two non-absorbable stitches on each side.
