Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is an effective treatment for gastroesophageal
reflux disease; however, some patients develop dysphagia postoperatively. Manometry is …

Introduction The outcome after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication can be assessed by
either clinical symptoms or objective tests. Outcomes from objective tests are often held in …

Background The fundoplication of choice for the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD) still is debated. Multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring (MII) …

Background Laparoscopic fundoplication is an accepted surgical management of refractory
gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The use of high resolution esophageal …

Background: Laparoscopic total fundoplication is considered the most effective surgical
option for gastroesophageal reflux (GER) disease. Some authors assume that total …

Dysphagia often occurs after fundoplication, although its pathophysiology is not clear. We
sought to better understand postfundoplication dysphagia by measuring esophageal …

Background Combined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring detects
gastro-oesophageal reflux and identifies acid and non-acid reflux events. It can be used in …

The aim of this study was to determine whether preoperative physiologic factors can account
for and be used to predict the development of postoperative dysphagia after laparoscopic …

Background Conventional measures of esophageal pressures or bolus transport fail to
identify patients at risk of dysphagia after laparoscopic fundoplication. Methods Liquid and …

Identifying and treating patients with extra-esophageal symptoms is a challenge. When the
patient is unable to control his symptoms with pharmacological therapy alone, anti-reflux …
