Systematic review and meta‐analysis of laparoscopic Nissen (posterior total) versus Toupet (posterior partial) fundoplication for gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is currently considered the surgical approach of choice for gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication (LTF) has been said to reduce troublesome dysphagia and gas‐related symptoms. A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was performed to compare LNF and LTF.
