[Long-term results following fundus plication. Symptoms after 10 to 20 years].
10 to 20 years (median 15.1 years) after fundoplication for primary reflux disease, 257 patients were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning their symptoms. Data of 163 patients (64.3%) were analyzed. Results were as follows: 21.4% of the patients had persistent or recurrent reflux symptoms, about half (9.8%) needing medical treatment. Adverse side effects of fundoplication were frequent (dysphagia in 28.2% and gas-bloat in 50.3%). Using the Visick classification criteria we found Visick grade I and II in 75.5%, grade III in 17.2%, and IV in 7.4%.
