Case description

Surgical video case: since reflux of gastric contents into the aperistaltic esophagus can cause esophagitis, peptic strictures, Barrett's esophagus, and even esophageal carcinoma, the addition of a partial fundoplication is very important. The choice of partial fundoplication is based on surgeons' preference and expertise.
