Abstract
Symptomatic outcomes after laparoscopic fundoplication with Collis gastroplasty are excellent and comparable with those of fundoplication alone. These results confirm that utilization of Collis gastroplasty, based on intraoperative assessment for shortened esophagus, is not detrimental to the overall outcome or quality of life associated with the laparoscopic approach to GPEH. Collis gastroplasty is recommended as an important procedure in the surgeon's armamentarium for laparoscopic repair of GPEH.
