Esophageal dysmotility and other preoperative factors associated with acid suppressive therapy after fundoplication.

Discussion: AST use is common after fundoplication. Male gender, preoperative esophageal dysmotility, proton pump inhibitor use and redo fundoplication were associated with AST use following fundoplication. In those undergoing combined Collis gastroplasty, preoperative NSAID use and esophageal dysmotility predicted AST use. PMID: 31852331 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
