With proper patient selection, laparoscopic fundoplication recent studies have indicated relatively low complication rates, quick recovery, and relatively good long term results.

Nissen or complete fundoplication ( wrapping the fundus all the way around the oesophagus ) is generally not considered advisable because peristalsis is absent in achalasia patients.

Vomiting is sometimes impossible or, if not, very painful after a fundoplication with the likelihood of this complication typically decreasing in the months after surgery.

The most recommended fundoplication to complement Heller's myotomy is Dor's fundoplication, which consists of a 180-to 200-degree anterior wrap around the esophagus.

In 2015 three reviews were published discussing the relative safety and effectiveness of the procedure compared with other endoscopic procedures delivered through the mouth, drug treatment ( generally proton-pump inhibitors ), and fundoplication.
