Abstract
We report a case of a patient who developed gastroparesis after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. The development of postoperative gastroparesis after either an open or laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is uncommon but may result in significant morbidity. With greater numbers of laparoscopic fundoplications being performed, the complication of gastroparesis may be noted more frequently.
