Introduction: Impedance planimetry with the endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) has been used to measure gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) tightness, distensibility index (DI), during anti-reflux surgery. We describe our institutional experience of a tailored fundoplication algorithm utilizing FLIP select whether patients should have Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (LNF) or Toupet (LTF) for treatment reflux disease (GERD). Methods and procedures: A prospectively maintained...
