Summary

A series of 50 patients was studied by esophageal manometry and X-ray prior to fundoplication and for a three month thereafter. In 49 patients a functionally intact gastroesophageal junction was documented; in one patient disintegration of the plication occured. The resting pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter was found preoperatively in the range of 10,4 ± 3,7 mm Hg; postoperative values increased to 19,0 ± 6,9 mm Hg. 10 % of patients complained postoperatively of temporary dysphagia. Only in a single instance continued dysphagia had to be treated. Inadvertently two patients were vagotomized during the operation. The data are discussed in relevance to the technical details of the operative procedure.

Zusammenfassung

Zur Überprüfung der klinischen Ergebnisse der Fundoplicatio wurde eine Serie von 50 Patienten nach exakter Dokumentation der präoperativen Befunde manometrisch und röntgenologisch 3 Monate postoperativ nachuntersucht. Bei 49 Patienten konnte ein funktionsfähiger gastrooesophagealer Verschluß aufgezeigt werden; in einem Fall hatte sich die Fundusmanschette gelöst. Die präoperativ deutlich erniedrigten Ruhedrucke im unteren Oesophagussphincter (10,4 ± 3,7 mm Hg) konnten durch die Operation auf 19,0 ± 6,9 mm Hg angehoben werden. In 10% der Fälle bestanden unmittelbar postoperativ passagere Dysphagien, die sich in der Regel rasch zurückbildeten. Nur bei einem Patienten mußte eine persistierende Dysphagie behandelt werden. Zwei weitere Patienten waren intraoperativ unbeabsichtigt vagotomiert worden. Diese Ergebnisse werden im Hinblick auf ihre operativtechnischen Konsequenzen diskutiert.
