Abstract
PURPOSE: Although laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is a kind of minimally invasive surgery, some transition time may still be required to allow the fundoplicated stomach to adapt to the new anatomical position. We observed transient delayed gastric emptying (DGE) post-LNF in our preliminary study. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence rate and development of transient DGE post-LNF. METHODS: Patients who underwent LNF for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) at our institution were recruited consecutively. They were treated with standardized LNF and prospectively followed up for 2 months. Proper diet guidance and/or pharmacologic therapy were given during these 2 months. GERD Health-Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL), DGE symptoms, and DGE status were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS: Fifty-one patients underwent LNF and completed a 2-month follow-up. LNF succeeded in all patients. Prior to LNF, no DGE was identified. At the 1-month follow-up, LNF led to a significant reduction in the GERD-HRQL total score but a significantly increased DGE score. Endoscopically, DGE was identified in forty-seven (n = 47, 92.2%) patients. At the 2-month follow-up, the GERD-HRQL scores continued to show decreases compared to the 1 month. The DGE score returned to the baseline value. Endoscopically, no DGE was identified in any patients (n = 0, 0.0%). CONCLUSIONS: Transient DGE is a very common one-month post-LNF but can recover quickly in the second month following LNF.
