    Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is the gold standard for treating moderate-to-severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

  • 2

    Postoperative dysphagia occurs in 10% to 25% of patients after Nissen fundoplication, often due to tight wraps or pre-existing motility disorders.

  • 3

    Floppy Nissen fundoplication reduces dysphagia incidence from 28% to less than 10% by limiting wrap length and applying moderate tension.

  • 4

    The novel laparoscopic floppy Nissen fundoplication with V-flap suturing optimizes tension distribution, potentially decreasing postoperative dysphagia.

  • 5

    This study compares the modified LNF-V technique with conventional LNF regarding reflux control and dysphagia incidence in a cohort of 173 patients.
