In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a combined retro- and prospective, monocentric study. All patients who underwent or are planned for laparoscopic partial fundoplication (180° anterior or 270° posterior) between 2020-2023 are assessed for preoperative ineffective esophageal motility (IEM). The main hypothesis is, that preoperative oesophageal motility disorders, especially hypo-contractility or failed peristalsis, are caused by gastro-oesophageal reflux. Therefore, postoperative manometry after partial wrap fundoplication (270° posterior, 180° anterior) shows a decrease in comparison to preoperative motility disorders. The primary objective of this study is to examine the postoperative esophageal motility in patients with known preoperative motility disorders. Secondary endpoints are the presence of other oesophageal motility disorders pre- vs. postoperatively (including new onset disorders), the assessment of
