Long-Term Quality of Life Outcomes Following Nissen Versus Toupet Fundoplication in Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Laparoscopic fundoplication is the gold standard treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) refractory to medical management. Although many studies have compared Nissen fundoplication (NF) to Toupet fundoplication (TF), it is unclear which operation provides the best long-term reflux control. The objective of this study was to evaluate long-term quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes after NF versus TF.

Methods

Clinical data from our single academic institutional foregut database were used to identify patients who underwent NF or TF (June 2010 to May 2016). Postoperative QoL was assessed through telephone at 1, 3, or 5 years postsurgery, using GERD-health related quality of life (GERD-HRQL), Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI), and Eckardt Dysphagia sc
