The role of mucosal impedance in the assessment of the reflux barrier after Nissen fundoplication
MI demonstrates that an intact Nissen fundoplication restores mucosal integrity to levels comparable to those of individuals without GERD. Failed fundoplications exhibit persistent GERD-like MI patterns. Therefore, MI provides an objective physiologic marker of surgical success and may aid in postoperative management.
