title: A study of fundoplication disruption and deformity.
abstract: Three distinct forms of postoperative breakdown after Nissen fundoplication have been discussed. Disruption and recurrent reflux is most common, with slipping occurring infrequently. For the first time, three patients developing a proximal gastric pouch deformity causing partial obstruction of the fundus without recurrent herniation are reported on. Two patients required remedial surgery.
