Issue Highlights

Dysphagia is one of the most common postoperative symptoms reported by patients following antireflux surgery. A recent paper in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology provided a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the management of esophageal motility disorders in general.1 In this issue, Hasak and colleagues2 report outcomes of adults who developed dysphagia following antireflux surgery for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Of 157 patients, 64.3% reported postoperative dysphagia; about half reported clinically significant dysphagia, defined as a score ≥ 2 on a 5-point Likert scale.
