Robotic Laparoscopic Modified Belsey Procedure (Gastroesophageal Valvuloplasty) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
2018
Gastroesophageal reflux is a common disease affecting one in five Americans. Medical therapy is the primary treatment modality. Surgical therapy attempts to create a physiological barrier to gastrointestinal reflux; yet, allow normal swallowing. This historical review provides the support for the development of a unique approach to reflux. The steps of the robotic laparoscopic modified Belsey Procedure (gastroesophageal valvuloplasty) (RLGV) are described in detail. The outcomes of this unique approach are described as well.
