Laparoscopic fundoplication normalizes esophageal motility in GERD patients

Laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) significantly enhances esophageal motility in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients, despite varying motility statuses. An analysis of 124 patients revealed favorable outcomes in 103 cases post-surgery, linking successful LF to improved motility. This study, which included laparoscopic Nissen and Toupet fundoplications, demonstrated nil 90-day mortality, underscoring LF’s effectiveness as a treatment option for GERD. These findings support LF’s role in restoring esophageal function in affected patients.
