BACKGROUND: @entity1690 ( @entity1690 ) has emerged as an alternative surgical treatment of @entity354 ( @entity354 ). The safety and efficacy of @entity1690 has been previously demonstrated, although adequate comparison to Nissen fundoplication (NF) is lacking, and required to validate the role of @entity1690 in @entity354 management. METHODS: A multi-institutional retrospective cohort study of @entity1 with @entity354 undergoing either @entity1690 or NF. Comparisons were made at 1  year for the overall group and for a propensity-matched group. RESULTS: A total of 415 @entity1 (201 @entity1690 and 214 NF) underwent surgery. The groups were similar in age, gender, and @entity354 -HRQL scores but significantly different in preoperative @entity28 (32 vs. 40  %), @entity1282 (27 vs. 39  %), DeMeester scores (34 vs. 39), presence of microscopic Barrett's (18 vs. 31  %) and @entity357 (55 vs. 69  %). At a minimum of 1-year follow-up, 354 @entity1 (169 @entity1690 and 185 NF) had significant improvement in @entity354 -HRQL scores (pre to post: 21-3 and 19-4). @entity1690 @entity1 had greater ability to belch (96 vs. 69  %) and vomit (95 vs. 43  %) with less gas bloat (47 vs. 59  %). Propensity-matched cases showed similar @entity354 -HRQL scores and the differences in ability to @entity11035 persisted in favor of @entity1690 . Mild @entity1282 was higher for @entity1690 (44 vs. 32  %). Resumption of daily PPIs was higher for @entity1690 (24 vs. 12, p  =  0.02) with similar @entity1 -reported satisfaction rates. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1690 for uncomplicated @entity354 achieves similar improvements in quality of life and symptomatic relief, with fewer side effects, but lower PPI elimination rates when compared to propensity-matched NF cases. In appropriate candidates, @entity1690 is a valid alternative surgical treatment for @entity354 management.
