Conventional management of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and hiatus hernia in children affected with encephalopathy can deteriorate their pulmonary function, already compromised by their leaning position and their spine deformations. The results after laparoscopic surgery for GER in 6 encephalopathy children are reviewed; their ages ranged from 9 to 14 years, their accompanying diseases were: spastic tetraparesia, hydrocephalus, scoliosis, epilepsy and Reye's syndrome. The laparoscopy procedures followed the same surgical steps as open surgery; the surgical time was 3 to 5 hours; the average hospital stay was 3 days. Oral intake started 8 hours after surgery.
