AB The  complete  encirclement  of  the  lower  esophageal  sphincter  with  the  fundus  of  the  stomach  is  very  effective  in  stopping  gastroesophageal  reflux.  A  greater  understanding  of  the  complex  physiologic  relationship  that  exists  in  normal  swallowing,  esophageal  motility,  and  gastric  reservoir  function  has  suggested  that  a  360-degree  fundoplication  may  not  be  optimal  for  all  patients.  Many  different  forms  of  partial  fundoplication  exist,  differing  in  the  technical  details  of  wrap  construction  and  the  part  of  the  esophagus  covered.  The  Dor  and  Toupet  fundoplications  represent  anterior  and  posterior  versions  of  a  partial  fundoplication,  respectively.  Despite  their  differences,  the  overall  goals  of  restoring  intraabdominal  esophageal  length  and  reinforcing  the  lower  esophageal  sphincter  remain  constant.
