Abstract INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic Fundoplication (LF) as a treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has positive clinical outcomes. However, postoperative dysphagia (PD) may appear as a side effect. Our objective is to analyze PD in patients operated on for LF in our center. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective and descriptive study of patients operated on for GERD from September 1997 to February 2019. RESULTS 248 patients (60.5% men), with a mean age of 49.7 (21-82), were operated. 66.1% of the patients presented associated comorbidities, highlighting obesity (19.8%). 75% manifested typical symptoms, 19% presenting with Barrett’s esophagus. Sliding hiatal, paraesophageal, mixed and complex hernia were diagnosed in 151 (60.9%), 23 (9.3%), 12 (4.8%), and 4 (1.6%) patients, respectively. The LF Nissen was the most frequent technique (91.5%), using a caliper in 46% of the cases. PD was the most frequent symptom, present in 57 (23%) patients. It was resolved with dilation in 9 patients, requiring 6 patients surgical reintervention. In those PD cases, a caliper was used in 28 (49.1%) patients, without finding significant differences between them (P = .586). Nor were there significant differences between PD and obesity (P = .510), type of hiatal hernia (P = .326), or surgical technique (P = .428). After a median follow-up of 50.5 months, quality of life was classified as Visick I-II, III, and IV in 76.6%, 6.9% and 1.2% of the cases, respectively. CONCLUSION No association between PD and the use of calipers, surgical technique or type of hiatal hernia was found in our series.

Laparoscopic surgery has become the elective approach for the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease in the last decade. Outcome data beyond 10 years are available for open fundoplication, with good-to-excellent results, but few studies report long-term follow-up after laparoscopic fundoplication. We performed a retrospective study of all the patients that underwent laparoscopic Nissen and Toupet fundoplications as antireflux surgery between 1995 and 1998 in our institution. To evaluate the long-term results, a face-to-face interview was performed in 2009. One hundred and six patients were included in the study. Surgical techniques performed were Nissen fundoplication (NF) in 56 patients and Toupet (TF) in 50. Complication rate was 4 per cent in both groups (nonsignificant [NS]). Two patients (4%) of NF required reoperation because of dysphagia. After 10 years, 10 per cent of the patients remain symptomatic in both groups. Fifteen per cent of NF take daily inhibitors of the proton pump versus 14 per cent of TF (NS). Twenty per cent of NF refer dysphagia, all of them without evidence of stenosis at endoscopy or contrasted studies. The satisfaction rate of the patients was 96 per cent in NF and 98 per cent in TF. Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication seems to be as safe and long-term effective as Nissen, but with a lower incidence of postoperative dysphagia. In our experience Toupet fundoplication should be the elective approach for the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
