Toupet comp.about 2%: Toupet or “Partial” Fundoplication is a very effective for controlling reflux. ...Toupet is a 270 degree wrap.The fundus is wrapped about two-thirds of the way around the back side, or posterior, of the bottom of your esophagus. This creates a sort of valve that lets you more easily release gas through burps or vomit when nessacary. REcur GERD -Nissen 3-46%/Toupet 1-25%. Comp. N-4-22% T 3-8 %
