The Belsey Mark IV fundoplication was a technique developed by Dr. Ronald Belsey whereby the distal esophagus is moved below the diaphragm, and an incomplete (240 degree) fundal wrap is performed. This restores the gastoesophageal junction (GEJ).

Overview

Indications

Paraesophageal hernias that are not good candidates for a Nissen fundoplication such as:

  • hostile abdomen from many prior abdominal procedures
  • concern for pericardial adhesions in a longstanding paraesophageal hernia

Surgical procedure

The incision is typically left thoracotomy along 6th rib

Induction and airway management

One lung ventilation is needed for surgical exposure of esophagus, using either double lumen tube (DLT) or bronchial blocker.
