Abstract EN
Background.
Some studies suggest that obesity is associated with a poor outcome after Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (LNF), whereas others have not replicated these findings.
The effect of body mass index (BMI) on the short- and long-term results of LNF is investigated.
Methods.
Inclusion criteria were only patients who undergone a LNF with at least 11-year follow-up data available, patients with preoperative weight and height data available for calculation of BMI (Kg/m2), and patients with a BMI up to a maximum of 34.9.
Results.
201 patients met the inclusion criteria: 43 (21.4%) had a normal BMI, 89 (44.2%) were overweight, and 69 (34.4%) were obese.
The operation was significantly longer in obese patients; the use of drains and graft was less in the normal BMI group (p<0.0001).
The hospital stay, conversion (6,4%), and intraoperative and early postoperative complications were not influenced by BMI.
Conclusions.
BMI does not influence short-term outcomes following LNF, but long-term control of reflux in obese patients is worse than in normal weight subjects.
