Zusammenfassung:Background Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and abnormal esophageal motility are the most controversial subgroup of surgically treated patients because of potentially increased risk of postoperative dysphagia. Our study aim was to determine if Nissen fundoplication is associated with increased postoperative dysphagia in patients with ineffective esophageal motility. Methods Medical records of all adult (>18 years old) patients who underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for GERD over 8 years were reviewed retrospectively. Of the 151 patients, 28 (group A) met manometric criteria for abnormal esophageal motility (
