Abstract

The paper analyzes three cases of developed uniphagia and/or dysphagia in long-term postoperative periods. No predictors of late dysphagia were observed. Maintenance of antireflux activity after prosthesis removal is of great interest. The authors recommend that the antireflux prosthesis should be used in the situations at a high risk of routine fundoplication.
