Postfundoplication complications. Prevention and management.
Management of post-fundoplication problems begins by preventing complications from occurring. The prevention of complications after antireflux surgery can be divided into three important areas: (1) patient selection, (2) selection of the surgery, and (3) selection of the surgeon. After addressing prevention techniques, the author discusses the management of new postoperative symptoms such as Dysphagia, gas-bloat syndrome, and nausea and vomiting.
