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.
