- Abstract
The article presents a randomized study of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication to patients undergoing laparoscopic antireflux surgery. The researchers confirmed that robot-assisted laparoscopic fundoplication was comparable to that of the standard laparoscopic procedure in terms of effects and feasibility. However, they stressed that operation costs are higher because of longer operating time and the utilization of expensive medical equipment.
