Keywords    The common benign diseases of gastroesophageal junction includes gastroesophageal reflux disease, hiatal hernia and achalasia of the cardia. The patients with moderate to severe diseases usually require surgical treatment. The traditional open surgery causes more injury and higher perioperative complications. With the laparoscopic technology becoming mature, the laparoscopic operations such as fundoplication, repair of hiatal hernia and Heller myotomy were recommended as a feasible surgical procedure for the treatment of the common benign diseases of gastroesophageal junction. According to our clinical studies, laparoscopy operation should be the method to treat the common benign diseases of gastroesophageal junction, with the advantages of micro-trauma, rapid recovery, safety, feasibility and reliable efficacy.
