Objective To compare the short-term curative results between Nissen, Thal and Toupet fundoplications in treatment of gastroesophageal reflux(GER) and to provide the basis for operative procedure. Methods Thirty-three male Japan rabbits were randomly divided into six groups: group reflux(n=7), transabdominal Heller’s esophagomyotomy (TAHE);group Nissen(n=7),TAHE and Nissen fundoplication;group Thal(n=7),TAHE and Thal fundoplication;group Toupet(n=7),TAHE and Toupet fundoplication; control group (n=5),ventrotomy. The anti-reflux efficacy of fundoplication was evaluated by intraesophageal pH monitoring and MGV(maximal gastric volume sustained by lower esophageal sphincter)4 weeks postoperatively. Results ① The total number of reflux episodes and the reflux ratio(0.83±0.41,2.20%±1.12%) of group Nissen were significantly lower than those of group Thal (2.20±0.45, 4.32%±0.82%) and group Toupet (1.80±0.45, 4.20%±0.57%), respectively (P lt;0.05). ② MGV of group Nissen (233.00±9.44)ml was significantly larger than those of group Thal (203.40±11.13)ml and group Toupet(197.60±10.99)ml, respectively (P lt;0.05). ③There were no significant difference in total number of reflux episodes, reflux ratio and MGV between group Thal and group Toupet (P gt;0.05).Conclusion Nissen fundoplication was better than Thal and Toupet fundoplications,Thal and Toupet fundoplications are similar in short-term curative result.
