Abstract

We examined the significance of pre and postoperative administration of Liu-Jun-Zi-Tang (Rikkunshito) for children with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).<br> We recognized that on preoperative administration of Rikkunshito the symptoms had either significantly decreased or had stopped.<br> We had more time before the operation because their symptoms were decreased by Rikkunshito.<br> We also recognized the effectiveness of Rikkunshito in postoperative patients of laparoscopic fundoplication, especially children with severe motor and intellectual disabilities.<br> Their symptom of nausea and vomiting disappeared after a dose of Rikkunshito.<br> In conclusion, we recognized that Rikkunshito is effective for both pre and postoperative children with GERD.
