A total of 160 patients treated by Nissen fundoplication for uncomplicated gastro-oesophageal reflux disease were studied over a 20-year period. Recurrent reflux and side-effects were assessed yearly after surgery. No objective tests for reflux were performed during follow-up if patients were asymptomatic. Perioperative mortality and technique-related morbidity rates were both 2 per cent. At the latest evaluation, 79 per cent of patients were completely relieved of reflux symptoms, 85 per cent had symptoms of Visick grade 1 or 2 and 89 per cent would be willing to undergo surgery again under the same conditions. Actuarial analysis showed that the success rate of fundoplication was 92 per cent at 20 years. Fourteen patients (9 per cent) developed side-effects after fundoplication and had continuing disability. Nissen fundoplication achieves permanent control of reflux symptoms in most patients with few complications and has a high degree of patient satisfaction.
