Anterior fundoplication (AF) following laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) for achalasia may prevent esophageal leaks and gastroesophageal reflux but cause dysphagia. Our study attempts to determine the effect of AF on esophageal leaks, nuclear medicine esophageal clearance (EC), symptom frequency (SF), and Van Trappen symptom scores (SS) for dysphagia, regurgitation, and heartburn.
