Dumping syndrome as a complication of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication in an adult.
BACKGROUND
Dumping syndrome is a recognized complication of various gastric surgical procedures, such as vagotomy, pyloroplasty, and gastrojejunostomy. However, it has not to date been reported following laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication in adults.


METHODS
We describe the case of a 34-year-old woman who developed late dumping syndrome following an uneventful laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease.


CONCLUSIONS
This condition should be considered in patients who develop hypoglycemic symptoms following laparoscopic fundoplication.
