Single-site, multiple port, antireflux laparoscopic fundoplication is a feasible cost-effective technique: The first case report in the United Arab Emirates

Abstract

Advances in minimal access surgery have led to the emergence of single-incision laparoscopic surgery. Single-incision laparoscopic fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease is safe and feasible in experienced hands. However, the main drawback of this technique is the increased cost factors considering the port devices and specialized instrumentation required. We did single-incision, multiple port laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication with conventional trocars and instruments.
