The completed Dor fundoplication. Arrows 1 and 2 show the suture line that anchors the fundoplication to the right edge of the myotomy. Arrow 2 incorporates the fundus, the right crus to the right edge of the myotomy. Arrow 3 points the suture that secures the fundoplication to the diaphragm. Arrow 4 points to the divided short gastric vessels that are brought into an anterior position as the fundoplication is created. This reinforces the need for a complete mobilization of the gastric fundus for the proper configuration of the fundoplication.
