5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Gastro esophageal reflux is the most common benign disease of the esophagus and Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication became the standard surgical treatment of this disease. Although being almost transient postoperative dysphagia is still a common complaint following this procedure. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of inserting a soft structured and blunt mounted 39 F orogastric tube to postoperative dysphagia.
