Systematic review of day‐case laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication

Background:  Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is increasingly being performed on a day‐case basis. The aim of the present paper was to systematically review published data on day‐case or ambulatory laparoscopic fundoplication and discuss the differing criteria for patient selection, postoperative management and patient outcomes presented in each series.
