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
