All surgery carries risks -- the outcome depends on the skill of your surgeon, quality of care and plain luck. It also depends to some extent on your own health because the better in shape you are, the better a recovery you will have. Surgery to cure GERD is usually successful but there are GERD surgery complications that you need to be aware of.

Abnormal peristalsis -- this is one of the more common GERD surgery complications but the chances are still minimal, at around 15%. Peristalsis is the muscular movement that enables food to move down the digestive tract. This particular complication, however, has minimal effect on the patient.

Wound infection -- this is one of the more obvious GERD surgery complications because this risk is carried with any type of surgery. Your odds of avoiding this are greatly increased depending on the infection rate of this hospital which in turn depends on how clean it is kept.

Constrictions -- In GERD surgery, the upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the oesophagus to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter. If it is wrapped too tightly, then GERD surgery complications such as difficulty swallow or an inability to burp can result.

Perforation or damage -- When operating in such an enclosed space, inevitably there are a few cases of damage to neighboring tissues. This is usually limited to the stomach and the esophagus but sometimes also neighboring organs.

Luckily, experience and long term studies have shown us that, first of all, the incidence of GERD surgery complications is very low. Secondly, when they do occur, the successful follow up rate is very good.
