Zusammenfassung:	This paper addresses gastric herniation following laparoscopic fundoplication for reflux esophagitis. A 46-year-old woman underwent Nissen fundoplication. Two days postoperatively she developed gastric herniation and perforation with subsequent pleural effusion and necrotizing fasciitis of the chest wall.
