Summary

This study looked at whether a specific keyhole surgery (Toupet fundoplication) can help people with a hiatal hernia that causes heartburn but doesn't show up on X-rays. 100 adults with this condition had the surgery and were followed to see if their symptoms came back or if they had any problems like trouble swallowing. The goal was to see if the surgery is a good way to control symptoms and improve quality of life.
