Laparoscopic fundoplication significantly improves esophageal motility in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irrespective of their initial motility status. A study involving 124 patients found that successful fundoplication was associated with normalization of motility, with 103 achieving good outcomes. All procedures were performed laparoscopically without postoperative mortality in the first 90 days. These findings suggest that laparoscopic fundoplication effectively addresses motility issues in GERD patients.
