Official Title: Valvuloplasty as Alternative to Toupet Fundoplication for the Minimal Invasive Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: This monocenter randomized controlled trial aims to compare postoperative outcomes of a laparoscopic valvuloplasty with a Toupet fundoplication in patients with GERD with a maximum hiatal hernia of 3cm. In addition, an economic evaluation of the new intervention will be done in order to determine cost-effectiveness and costs per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY).
